KiPlot

KiPlot is a program which helps you to plot your KiCad PCBs to output formats easily, repeatable, and most of all, scriptably. This means you can use a Makefile to export your KiCad PCBs just as needed.

For example, it's common that you might want for each board rev:

• Check DRC one last time
• Gerbers, drills and drill maps for a fab in their favourite format
• Fab docs for the assembler
• Pick and place files

You want to do this in a one-touch way, and make sure everything you need to do so it securely saved in version control, not on the back of an old datasheet.

KiPlot lets you do this.

Developing

Set up a virtualenv:

virtualenv --python /usr/bin/python2.7 ~/venv/kiplot

Install with pip -e:

cd path/to/kiplot
pip install -e .
