Hi Wayne:

I've been using Kicad for three weeks and just completed one project. I also had to penalize the boards.

I exported them from Kicad as post script, opened in GSview, exported as bit map, then opened in open office draw used copy and paste to penalize. It sounds like a lot of work but after a few times it went real fast.

I really like Kicad, but I agree that the component editor needs work.

Cheers

Chuck

Thanks for the review. It pretty much agrees with my
experience to date.

I'm hoping that the next board that I send out to Olimex
will be done with KiCAD. There is still one remaining
"gotcha" issue that I have to resolve with KiCAD. I need
to figure out how to cram multiple 1.25" x 2.50" mini-boards
onto a single 3.9" x 6.3" Eurocard board in KiCAD. I'm sure
I'll figure it out.
