This video is part of my “KiCad Like a Pro, 4th edition” course, updated for KiCad 8! In this session, we’re transitioning from schematic design to layout design in the KiCad Layout Editor. I’ll guide you through the initial steps of importing footprints from your schematic and setting up the layout editor to begin your PCB design.

You’ll learn how to navigate the Layout Editor, configure the appearance and selection filters, and ensure your workspace is optimized for efficient design work. We’ll also take a look at how to set up your project’s page settings, just as we did in the schematic editor.
