Convert your KiCAD boards into nice looking 2D drawings suitable for pinoutdiagrams. Never draw them manually again!

This tool takes a KiCAD board (.kicad_pcb file) and produces a 2Dnice looking drawing of the board as an SVG file. This allows you to quickly andautomatically create awesome pinout diagrams for your project. These diagramsare much easier to read than a labeled photo of a physical board or an actualKiCAD design.

You and your users will love them!

PcbDraw also comes with a small utility called Populate which allows you toeasily specify & maintain nice looking HTML or Markdown population manuals.

And, also, as a bonus it allows you to programmatically obtain 3D-renderedpreviews of your boards (e.g., in CI).

PcbDraw is a stand-alone CLI tool distributed as a Python packagepcbdraw. Italso requires Inkscape 1 or librsvg installed. Read more details in theinstallation guide.

There are two separate guides:

• usage of PcbDraw
• usage of Populate
• library management tools

There are also examples of usage in theexamples directory.
