How to get rid of box outline when going from schematic to board.

Anonymous — Tue, 16 Jun 2020 21:05:33 GMT

When I try to convert from a schematic to the board, I get this outline on the board (included as attachment). How do I get rid of the outline so all I see is the holes symbol instead of the white box?

Thanks!

hello @Anonymous ,

The layout of the component (two through holes and the top place outlines) are connected together with the schematic symbol by desing (in the library). You could copy the component into a new library, and edit the footprint or the symbol to your liking. But if you only want a component with two through holes, there is no need for such things.

You can symply look for another component that fit your needs in the default libraries, paying attention to the footprint (right image on the "add part" window.

Hope it helps
