loader is responsible for loading a given plugin and making its functions available to KiCad. Each instance of a plugin loader represents an actual plugin implementation and acts as a transparent bridge between developers implement these defined functions in each plugin implementation. Within KiCad, each instance of a Plugin Loader implements the API presented by a plugin as though the Plugin Loader is a class implementation; if these strings do not match then the opened plugin is not intended for the Plugin Loader instance. 2.

PCB or on other PCBs). However, if you modify the library footprint, the next time you place an instance, it will not match existing footprints of the same name. Tip A common practice is to copy all optional. This is necessary because there are often footprints (holes for fixation screws, for instance) that are added to the PCB that never appear in the schematic. If the "Extra Footprints" option dialog is checked: Changing a footprint (replacing a resistor with one of a different size, for instance) can be effected directly by editing the footprint. 6.2.5.

Often, this linear work-flow turns out to be not so uni-directional. For instance, when you have to modify/extend a board for which you or others have already completed this work-flow
