Modifying the board If the schematic is modified (after a printed circuit board has been generated), the following steps must be repeated: Generate a new netlist file using Eeschema. If the changes to the schematic involve features like POLYLINES and ELLIPSIS and DXF files that use these features require a few conversion steps to prepare them for import. A software package like LibreCAD can be used for this conversion. As

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 as well for convenience. For choose and add the microchip_pic12mcu library and close the window. 21. Repeat the add-component steps, however this time select the microchip_pic12mcu library instead of the device library and pick the axis. Press the key again to return it to its original orientation. 23. Repeat the add-component steps, this time choosing the device library and picking the LED component from it. 24. Organise all components
