plotting Gerber files from a PCB design or upgrading a symbol library from a legacy file format to a modern format. NOTE On macOS, the kicad-cli executable is located at /Applications/KiCad/KiCad The fp subcommand exports footprints to another format or upgrades the footprint libraries to the current version of the KiCad footprint file format. Footprint export The fp export svg command exports footprint library from a legacy footprint format to the native format for the current version of KiCad. If the input library is already in the current file format, no action is taken. Usage: kicad-cli

File format settings are configured in the Export tab. For more information about exporting a BOM, see the BOM Schematic Setup window’s Formatting page. References can be enabled or disabled, and the displayed format for the list can be adjusted, including with optional prefix or suffix characters. The image below

Key-value pairs: if a library part’s description or keywords contain a tag of the format "Key:123", you can match relative to that by typing "Key>123" (greater than), "Key<123" (less than) assigned. However, symbols that already have footprints assigned will not be updated. Equivalence File Format Equivalence files consist of one line for each symbol value. Each line has the following structure: If this is a relative path, it is created relative to the project directory. Output Format: Select the format to plot in. Some formats have different options than others. Page size: Sets the page size
