Any changes to footprint selection or annotation can be changed in the schematic and updated in pcbnew by regenerating the netlist and reading it in pcbnew again pad clearance issues as well as preventing nets from being connected that aren’t connected in the netlist/schematic. When using the interactive router it continuously runs the design rules check and will an fp-lib-table file containing the entries will be written into the folder of the currently open netlist. 2.4.5.

finished. We can now create a Netlist file to which we will add the footprint of each component. Click on the Generate netlist icon on the top toolbar. Click on the Generate Netlist button and save under the the default file name. Note Netlist was necessary in previous versions of KiCad. In the recent versions you can ignore it and instead use Tools → Update PCB from Schematic. If you do that you have to to assign footprints to symbols first. 49. After generating the Netlist file, click on the Run Cvpcb icon on the top toolbar. If a missing file error window pops up, just ignore it and click OK. Note
