KiCAD issue - Cannot make changes to a single gate in a multi-gate component.

[Alex]

Hi all, I am making a library in KiCad. The component needs to have two gates.

I create a new component and assign two parts to it in the preferences. Part A and part B selection becomes available.
I draw up part A but when I select and make changes to Part B these changes are also applied to part A. I have made other libraries in the past, anyone heard of this issue?

Are you using the latest stable version or a testing version off the launchpad site (see my other post about compiling KiCAD for Windows)? If there is an issue you can check on Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad) or have a look at the Yahoo kicad-users group (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/). I havent tried what your doing, so I can't confirm this issue myself.

Thanks for the reply David. I was not able to find any reported bugs on that link. I downloaded it from here:
http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/

I am really not the type of user that will compile his CAD package in order to use it and eliminate bugs.
Are you aware of a place that hosts the latest compiled version?

I will also post on the kicad yahoo group I am part of.

There is always this forum. 

I have been posting recent builds occasionally. I will compile the latest. I haven't done a new version recently, but I will put build 3825 3285 up later today, if it looks OK. (Some of the testing build have had new bugs, so I haven't been posting all of the newly compiled versions I have built).

Do you mean build 3285 amspire?

Thanks, at least I can rule out that there isn't a problem with the installed version.

Corrected now. Thanks for pointing it out.

Double-click on the objects you don't want to share and make sure that "Add to all parts in package" (if it's a pin) and "Apply changes to all parts in component" (if it's a drawing) are unchecked. I'm on revision 3047 so this may or may not still apply to you.

That sounds straightforward. Thanks.

The last official build was 3044. Does 3047 fix some bugs? Looks like it added eeschema sheet resizing at least.
