create schematic symbols with a sheet

[maxchen]

Hope KiCAD have ability to create schematic symbols with a sheet, just like OrCAD's spreadsheet. This can speed up the creation of large pin count part.

Yes, is planned, but it will be a while until it becomes generally useful.

The plan is to allow importing CSV files from various vendors and generate pin tables from these.

Great ! Looking forward to it.
Thanks for your hard work.

Step one is implemented (read-only pin table).

Read-write support is difficult due to wxWidgets not behaving as expected. :P

Somethink like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX4l8i4TSWY (https://github.com/xesscorp/KiPart) ?

[Simon Richter (sjr)]

Yes, but builtin.

Other feature that could be implemented is some automatic to editing pin-by-pin, like this other EDA software

You don't need to edit one pin by time, but just click in "next" to the "edit window" go to next pin.
