Despite its similarities with other PCB software tools, KiCad is characterised by an interesting work-flow in which schematic components and footprints are actually two separate entities. This is often the the subject of discussion on Internet forums. 2.1. KiCad Workflow overview The KiCad work-flow is comprised of two main tasks: making the schematic and laying out the board. Both a component library and necessary to make new ones. In the picture below, you see a flowchart representing the KiCad work-flow. The picture explains which steps you need to take, in which order. When applicable, the icon is added

PCB Footprint Editor, GerbView, Bitmap2Component, PCB Calculator and Pl Editor. Refer to the work-flow chart to give you an idea how the main tools are used. 2. Create a new project: File → New → Project 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, it is possible that
