Space Ctrl F1 Cmd Ctrl Option project manager, or by clicking the "Open PCB in board editor" button in the schematic editor. To import the schematic design information into the board editor, including footprints and net connections older versions of KiCad, the equivalent process was to export a netlist from the Schematic Editor and import it into the Board Editor. It is no longer necessary to use a netlist file. F8 12 For more information

The location of the previous configuration files is detected automatically will not be imported. You may also choose to start with default settings if you do not want to import settings from a previous version. KiCad stores the settings files in a folder inside your user

Mouse operations and selection sheets, and pins. Place a hierarchical subsheet. You must specify the file name for this subsheet. Import a hierarchical pin from a subsheet. This command can be executed only on hierarchical subsheets hierarchical sheet pin can be imported in the sheet symbol. For every hierarchical label in the subsheet, import the corresponding hierarchical pin into the sheet symbol by clicking the button in the right toolbar
