Re: Proposed roadmap changes

 

Hello,
as Andy mentioned, I consider quite important to have schematic components
embedded into schematic file. This will allow people to share small
schematic sheets and schematic snippets without painful  lib cache file. In
Eagle and in Altium the "make library from schematic" capability is/was a
great feature.

In my opinion, the limitation of not being able to copy and paste schematic
portions (outside a kicad project) is a big limitation for anybody who
makes/reuse/share a lot of schematics.

Am I the only one suffering from the inability to reuse schematics?
