Pads may be unlocked to allow free movement, which can be useful for certain applications (such as through-hole footprints with varying lead positions) but is generally never recommended creating copper zones on signal layers. In KiCad, the Copper Zone tool is used for both these applications. 38 Zones are defined by a polygonal outline that defines the maximum extent of the filled copper that contains less copper. This can be useful for flexible printed circuits and other specialty applications. Orientation controls the angle of the hatch pattern lines. An orientation of 0 degrees will

footprint mappings as well as other component metadata. This database can be shared with other users, applications, and systems. A command-line interface for automating many KiCad functions, including schematic editor (historically called Eeschema) and PCB editor (historically called PcbNew) were separate applications that had no direct link, and to create a PCB based on a schematic, users had to generate a netlist longer required. Many tutorials still exist that refer to the old KiCad workflow of separate applications and netlist files, so be sure to check the version being used when looking at tutorials and other

STEP models are suitable for use in mechanical CAD applications. 98 The STEP exporter can also export a binary GLTF ( .glb ) model file by changing the output grounds at a specific location, to make kelvin sense connections to a component, or for other applications. Net ties connect two or more nets in one contiguous region of copper. Each net in a net tie
