Received an error while reading netlist. Please report this issue to the KiCad team...
I just read a thread on the user forum about some trouble with case sensitivity in reference designators:
https://forum.kicad.info/t/update-pcb-from-schematic-some-components-are-missing/36750
... and I decided to investigate further, so I created a little test project with two resistors for which the RefDes only is different in case:
If I do **Schematic Editor / Tools / Update PCB from Schematic in this project, I get the following dialog:
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Schematic Editor with the attached project.
- Press [F8]
