For the full kicad experience, you need to complain = on the forum about

1) us= ing the latest v5 release to inspect your old design and can no longer prop= erly open your v4 files because it quietly overwrote the file contents, or= =C2=A0

2) how the new re= lease broke all of your parts libraries, or=C2=A0

3) you used their nightly build and broke somethi= ng, and get flamed for using nightly, then the next moment get flamed for u= sing the old "stable" version in your distro, and not using the c= ooler, newer nightly build with all the new python doodads...

Until you get flamed in their forum, = you've not had the full user experience...

I "finally" got it open in = kicad ONLY to find that the footprint pins "from what I can tell"= are just cutouts with no annular ring AND they are circular.

I was able to get the measurements and will create a pcb footprint to= morrow with slotted holes.

Thanks for all the help= !

And yes, kicad seems quite cumbersome.

I think that the kicad people have a mailing list and/or a forum, ask there= .
