manages libraries of footprints. Each footprint is a drawing of the physical component including its land pattern (the layout of pads on the circuit board). The required footprints are automatically loaded route individual traces. Pcbnew provides a rats nest display, a hairline connecting the pads of footprints which are connected on the schematic. These connections move dynamically as track and footprint high contrast as well. Footprints can be rotated to any angle, with a resolution of 0.1 degree. Pcbnew includes a Footprint Editor that allows editing of individual footprints that have been on a pcb

经没有必要使用网表文件了。 ## Options ☐ Re-link footprints to schematic symbols based on their reference designators ☐ Delete footprints with no symbols ✓ Replace footprints with those specified in the schematic default tool).| |---|---| |✗|Local ratsnest tool: when the board ratsnest is hidden, selecting footprints with this tool will show the ratsnest for the selected footprint only. Selecting the same footprint of the default grid when working with those objects. For example, you can set a 100 mil grid for footprints and pads while using smaller grids to finely position tracks, vias, and text. Grid overrides can
