Board
Route, pour zones, set up the stack-up and rules, and work with variants, reuse blocks, multi-board systems and rigid-flex.
The board editor opens .kicad_pcb files: interactive and automatic routing, zones, Board Setup, and the tools for larger designs.
RoutingInteractive routing: modes, differential pairs, buses, fan-out, teardrops, impedance and length tuning.
AutoroutingRouter providers, the Autoroute dialog and the per-net review.
ZonesCopper zones and rule areas, and the built-in zone filler.
Board setupLayers, the physical stack-up, net classes, constraints and custom rules.
Arranging footprintsAlign, distribute, arrays and the Arrange flyout.
Padstacks and text boxesPer-layer pad shapes and text boxes on the board.
VariantsAssembly variants: named sets of changes to the parts of a project.
Design reuseRooms, reuse blocks, and pin and gate swap.
Multi-board systemsSeveral boards joined by harnesses into one product, with a system ERC.
Rigid-flex and HDIStack-up regions, the folded 3D view, and HDI via spans.
Test pointsCheck that every net can be probed and add test pads where it cannot.
