Greetings, I am having difficulties understanding libraries. I am using KICAD, 5.1.9. I’m trying to create symbols and footprints and I don’t understand how to select where to store the library. I

As far as I can tell, the Gerber viewer in KiCad will allow for gerbers to be exported to the PCB tool. Doesn't this accomplish what is desired?

The kicad gerber viewer allows you to export gerbers as a .kicad_pcb file for editing in pcbnew, if that helps. Regards, Robert.

If the layout is fairly simple: You could print the gerbers to a file as a pdf, then manipulate that to produce a bitmap which you could then import to a graphics layer. You could use that as a

No, Importing gerbers directly into a capture/PCB layout package is not possible. If a small change is needed, FAB3000 is a good option, monthly license. -Rob

This guy https://www.techtravels.org/ sent photos of a blank board to somebody on Fiver (?) and they produced a complete schematic and layout. That said, often products use custom or unlabeled

does anyone know how to reverse engineer gerbers, and create a pcb from gerbers? Alguem sabe como fazer engenharia reversa com os gerbers, e criar uma pcb apartir dos gerbers????

Is there a way to create a footprint that has an "open" center. The issue is that if I do a conventional footprint for a shield part, selecting anything in the interior will select the shield as

Thinking the same I started to pay closer attention to what I was doing, but no, even if I take great care over where the cursor is when I press D, it still may or may not do something weird. I have

There is no memory of its original position, only its current position. You can place the anchor anywhere you like using Place-> Place the Footprint Anchor in the footprint editor. If you know where

I'll take a guess that Jorge's suggestion of "Hi, try G instead if D. It may drag the segment. I am not sure anyway because I changed a lot of the standard hotheys to my own." went to the wrong

I have always put this behaviour down to exactly which pixel the mouse pointer is over when i press 'd'. If it happens to be over the join between the two segments then it thinks I want to make a

This is on my own device foot print, not a library one. Dave

Hi I would simply download it from the official repository. Next time you need to personalize a footprint, do it on copy in a library of your own, instead of changing the original one. HIH Best

If I select a track segment in kicad 6, or just hover over it, when I press 'd' more often than not kicad will create a corner at the point where I pressed d and then start dragging the corner around.

I had a need to move the default anchor position of a footprint, but I would now like to restore it's position. Is there a way to move the anchor back to it's original position (other than to guess

Exactly. Hobby electroinics-wise I go back to when there were NO EDA - No PC's even. Professionally you used dots and tape, for home use it was the DALO etch resist pen - happy days... Lots of

It's entirely possible that Andy agrees with you, and he's simply gently trying to introduce this flow to someone who may not (yet) agree with you. I'll bite, though. Sure, if you are living in

Hi What do you mean by "keeping the system happy"? IMHO starting with the schematic is the correct workflow, not to keep any "system" happy, but as the way to avoid costly mistakes on the PCB
