It should be better to use EasyEDA package name according to KiCAD footprint name.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean, can you try to explain the example in different words?

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. And thanks for you develop such great tool, that I can covert the PCB from EasyEDA to KiCAD.

My question is: in EasyEDA the footprint name is package, in the above pictures, the switch footprint name is SW-TH_4PIN-L6.00-W6.00. However your tool use ID to name the footprint. So after convert to KiCAD PCB file, the footprint name is gge1136.

So each part will have a unique name. Even some of them use a same footprint.

Anyway, it still work fine.
