association with the schematic capture program Eeschema to create printed circuit boards. Pcbnew manages libraries of footprints. Each footprint is a drawing of the physical component including its land pattern initial configuration for all new projects. This configuration file can be modified to change the libraries to be loaded. To do this: Launch Pcbnew using kicad or directly. On Windows it is in C:\kicad\bin\pcbnew Cfg) to kicad/share/template/kicad.pro. 2.3. Managing Footprint Libraries As of release 4.0, Pcbnew organises the footprint libraries using files called "footprint library tables". A footprint library
