Specctra DSN exporter The Specctra DSN exporter creates a file suitable for importing into certain third-party autorouter software. This exporter has no configurable options. GenCAD exporter The GenCAD GenCAD exporter creates a GenCAD file for fabrication, testing, or importing into other software. The GenCAD exporter has several options. Flip bottom footprint padstacks: If enabled, separate flipped padstack file. If not enabled, the origin in the generated file will be set to (0,0). 105 VRML exporter The VRML exporter creates a VRML ( .wrl ) 3D model file containing the PCB and any VRML files specified in

RKM format are rewritten to be Spice-compatible (e.g. 4u7 is changed to 4.7u ) The Spice netlist exporter also provides an easy way to simulate the generated netlist with an external simulator. This can output is described in the BOM export section. The following section describes how to create an exporter for a new output format. Adding new netlist generators New netlist generators are added to the format The command line for a netlist or BOM exporter defines the command that KiCad will run to generate the selected output file. For a netlist exporter using xsltproc , an example is: xsltproc -o
