Plot and drilling maps Managing Footprint Libraries As of release 4.0, Pcbnew organises the footprint libraries using files called "footprint library tables". A footprint library table contains descriptions of some number containing .kicad_mod files) Github - native KiCad footprint libraries in the .pretty format, stored online as a Github repository Legacy - old-style KiCad footprint libraries (.mod files) Eagle - Eagle footprint
