PcbDraw 1.1.2
PcbDraw
Convert your KiCAD boards into nice looking 2D drawings suitable for pinout
diagrams. Never draw them manually again!
This tool takes a KiCAD board (.kicad_pcb file) and produces a 2D
nice looking drawing of the board as an SVG file. This allows you to quickly and
automatically create awesome pinout diagrams for your project. These diagrams
are much easier to read than a labeled photo of a physical board or an actual
KiCAD design.
You and your users will love them!
PcbDraw also comes with a small utility called Populate which allows you to
easily specify & maintain nice looking HTML or Markdown population manuals.
And, also, as a bonus it allows you to programmatically obtain 3D-rendered
previews of your boards (e.g., in CI).
Installation
PcbDraw is a stand-alone CLI tool distributed as a Python package pcbdraw. It
also requires Inkscape 1 or librsvg installed. Read more details in the
installation guide.
Usage
There are two separate guides:
usage of PcbDraw
usage of Populate
library management tools
There are also examples of usage in the examples directory.
PcbDraw seems to be broken!
