By default, cross-probing will result in the display centering on the cross-probed item and zooming to fit. You can disable the centering shape of the arc or circle. Setting this to a lower number than the default value of 0.005mm will result in smoother shapes, but can be very slow on larger boards. The default value typically results in

documents necessary for production: Fabrication outputs: Files for Photoplotters in GERBER RS274X format. Files for drilling in EXCELLON format. Plot files in HPGL, SVG and DXF format. 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
