KiCad Releases KiCad 9.0.0 ECAD Tool

Published: 25 March 2025

KiCad 9.0.0 ECAD software now features predefined sets of jobs; for example, plotting, exporting, and running design rule checks (DRC) on schematics and PCBs.

Independent jobset files are reusable. Implements embedding various elements in schematics, PCB layouts, footprints and symbols that were previously linked to external files, for creating fully self-contained KiCad files that do not rely on external files such as fonts or 3-D models. Allows grouping of various symbols and footprints into classes that can have specific design rules applied.
