I’m excited to introduce you to the latest and greatest version of KiCad – version 8.
In this video, I compare the user interface in KiCad 8 against that in KiCad 7. This review is part of my extensive review of KiCad 8, which you can find on my blog.
Go to https://txplo.re/kicad8_review for the details.
Please note that this blog post is a document I am actively working on now.
Whether you’re a seasoned KiCad user or just getting started, it’s important to stay up to date with the latest developments in the software. By reading this article, you’ll better understand the new tools and functionalities available and how they can enhance your design process.
I’ll cover everything from improved user interface enhancements to new functionality streamlining the design process. This article is a must-read to quickly transition to KiCad 8 from a previous version or even a different PCB tool.
