Hi,  
I decided to prepare one of my projects in LibrePCB, but I’m stuck on one topic. How to add a component only in board editor (omitting schematic)? I was not able to do this, is it possible? I need this option for fans/heat sinks (I don’t see the point in adding them to the schematic). Thanks.

Hi,

Yeah that’s indeed not possible at the moment, so currently you have to add it to the schematics too…
