delete footprint in pcbnew

[muzaffer]

when i deleted footprint in pcbnew i can delete but i didn't in schematic, so i must not delete footprint in pcbnew. Kicad must alert me , you can't delete footprint, if you can delete footprint first remove from schematic layout editor.

Sometimes we can inadvertently delete footprint in pcbnew, this is big mistake

Please add version information.

Also, I don't quite understand what your problem is. Please try to reword it.

i mean when you try to delete footprint in pcb layout editor eagle alert pop up menu like in atecment. But kicad is never alertin pcbnew.

this alert block mistakenly deleting footprint in pcbnew when you design board.

if component there is in schematic editor must be in pcbnew too, if you remove component in pcbnew you must remove in schematic editor first.

I think the reported problem is that one may delete footprints in pcbnew even though they still exist in eeschema. The suggested way is to remove symbols from schematics first and only then import changes in the layout editor.

Instead I propose a DRC rule that verifies whether netlist used by pcbnew is up-to-date.

I agree with Orson (Maciej Suminski).
