This usually leads to a lot of cussing and hair pulling during the initial stages when one can’t figure out “How the hell do I do that?”, especially from new converts who are used to doing things differently. No CAD or EDA software is perfect, and a user has to learn to get to grips with the idiosyncrasies of whichever program they decide to use. did a whole series on building a project from start to finish using all the various EDA packages he could lay his hands on. We have covered KiCAD (as well as other) Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools several times in the past. I’ve spent some time refining this technique and I’ll walk you through the process in this article. This way any changes to the default schematic libraries will not affect your project and it will be easy to share your project with others without breaking it.

It does not store any personal data.One common complaint we hear from most new KiCAD users relates to schematic and footprint libraries.
