clarification!!! For my current understanding the unit is a resistor width
(Mateusz: szeroko=C5=9B=C4=87), but not length (Mateusz: d=C5=82ugo=C5=9B=
=C4=87); by "width" I
understand horizontal dimension of resistor on attached picture and by
"length" I understand vertical dimension of resistor on attached picture.

Vesa, please confirm or correct me. But for sure the guideline has to be
more precise about that.

If you switch eeschema to millimetres you will get millimetres in library
editor.

I have some questions regarding guidelines.<br>
<br>
I was trying to redraw a R symbol, according to SG (symbol guidelines: <a h=
ref=3D"http://users.tkk.fi/%7Evsolonen/kicad/Symbol_guidelines.txt"; target=
=3D"_blank">http://users.tkk.fi/~vsolonen/kicad/Symbol_guidelines.txt</a>) =
it should be:<br>

<br>
-Resistors: length 2.4*DU, pins 4*DU, US version with Bold line<br>
<br>
please see attached print screen (first R is original KiCAD R, second is a =
R from rcl.lib downloaded from your web page, third is a R symbol I draw ac=
cording to guidelines )<br>
<br>
Either I am missing something or it looks weird?<br>
<br>
Another problem is that in SG you are using 1DU=3Dresistor width~0.08&quot;=
<br>
<br>
In library editor one can only use mils so maybe it would be better to set =
1DU=3D0.1&quot; as allowed grid sizes in library editor are 1,2,5,10,25,50 =
mils?<br>
<br>
The last question is what &quot;common to unit&quot; &amp; &quot;common to =
convert&quot; options in library editor are responsible for?<br>
<br>
Thanks for help!<br><br></p></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div>I re=
