By default, cross-probing will result in the display will show the ratsnest for the selected footprint only. Selecting the same footprint again will hide its ratsnest. The local ratsnest setting for each footprint will remain in effect even after the local

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 (the layout of pads on the circuit required footprints are automatically loaded during the reading of the Netlist. Any changes to footprint selection or annotation can be changed in the schematic and updated in pcbnew by regenerating the footprints which are connected on the schematic. These connections move dynamically as track and footprint movements are made. Pcbnew has a simple but effective autorouter to assist in the production of
