Custom symbols may need to be created if appropriate symbols are not already available. At this stage footprints are also selected for each component, with custom footprints created

arbitrary signals, custom wire and junction colors per net, alternate pin functions, and many other new schematic features. A new design rule system in the PCB editor supporting custom rules that can be number of tutorials and guided lessons in using KiCad have been created by community members. These resources can be a good way to learn KiCad for some new users. See the Further Reading section at the end problems, learn tips and tricks, and share examples of KiCad projects.

You can create and save your own presets or use one of several default presets. Custom presets can be deleted in this dialog or in the Schematic Setup dialog. Symbols can be filtered

features of the footprint library table is environment variable substitution. This allows you to define custom paths to where your libraries are stored in environment variables. Environment variable substitution unexpectedly affected by changes to system or user libraries. Also, it ensures all the footprint resources used for the PCB can be easily distributed with the PCB file. Chapter 3. General operations 3 change it during routing: Use standard KiCad shortcuts.
