.pro: project file. Holds parameters that apply to the entire project (schematic and PCB layout)..sch: legacy schematic file..kicad_sch: the new schematic layout file..lib: schematic symbols library file.-cache.lib: … a local copy of all the symbols used in the corresponding schematic, so that when the folder containing a KiCad project is copied to a different PC, the schematic can still be opened and printed and will still look the same as the original draughtsperson intended - even if that other PC does not have those symbols in its main libraries (or has symbols that coincidentally have the same name but are completely different).-rescue.lib: … copies of conflicting/missing schematic symbols.
.mod: legacy footprint module file (Obsolete, can only be read)..pretty: footprint library folders. The folder itself is the library..kicad_mod: footprint files, containing one footprint description each..000: * temporary file..bak: backup of schematic file..brd: legacy PCB layout file..kicad_pcb: the new PCB layout file.-save.kicad_pcb: … backup of the PCB Layout file.
.cmp: deprecated parts-to-module assignments file. Footprint informations are now saved in the .sch files..csv: commonly used when exporting BOM file..dcm: holds descriptions, aliases and keywords for library symbols..bck: backup file for the symbol editor of the.dcmfile..net: *: netlist in 'Pcbnew'; format … can be regenerated by viewing the schematic file and clicking the 'Netlist generation' button.fp-info-cache: *: Footprint info cache: cache of information (description, datasheet URL, etc.) for all footprints used by the board.fp-lib-table: Footprint library list (footprint libraries table): list of footprint libraries (various formats) which are loaded by the board or the footprint editor or CvPcb.sym-lib-table: Symbol library list (symbol libraries table): list of symbol libraries which are loaded by the schematic editor.drc-rules: S-expression file containing design rule checking constraints. Introduced in v6..kicad_wks: The page layout description files, for people who want a worksheet with a custom look..rpt: report file, for documentation..gbr: Gerber output files for manufacturing..drl: Gerber drill file for manufacturing..pos: position files (ASCII format), for automatic insertion machines..wrl: VRML 3D model used in the 3D viewer to represent parts..stepor.stp: STEP 3D model used for integration with MCAD software packages. KiCad supports STEP file integration and can export board and component models into an integrated STEP file.
- A full Getting Started guide is included in the KiCad documentation, in multiple languages. This covers the process of creating and completing a simple project. We recommend that all new users read this first, in order to learn the basics. Quick KiCad Summary This is a quick summary of how KiCad functions. More details can be found in the full documentation.
- Create a new project. If the default template file (kicad.kicadpro) is found in kicad/template, it is copied into the working directory. Create a new project from an existing template. Open an existing project. Create a zip archive of the whole project. This includes schematic files, libraries, PCB, etc. Extract a project zip archive into a.

- Double-clicking on the Eeschema icon runs the schematic editor which in this case will open the file picprogrammer.sch. Double-clicking on the Pcbnew icon runs the layout editor, in this case opening the file picprogrammer.kicadpcb. Right clicking on any of the files in the project tree allows generic file.
