<p>Exports the PCB to the most common exchange format. Suitable for printing.
|
||
Note that this output isn’t the best for documating your project. <br/>
|
||
This output is what you get from the File/Plot menu in pcbnew. <br/>
|
||
The <cite>pcb_print</cite> is usually a better alternative. <br/>
|
||
If you use custom fonts and/or colors please consult the <cite>resources_dir</cite> global variable. <br/></p>
|
||
<p>Type: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pdf</span></code></p>
|
||
<p>Category: <strong>PCB/docs</strong></p>
|
||
<p>Parameters:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>comment</strong> <span class="target" id="index-1"></span>: [string=’’] A comment for documentation purposes. It helps to identify the output.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>dir</strong> <span class="target" id="index-2"></span>: [string=’./’] Output directory for the generated files.
|
||
If it starts with <cite>+</cite> the rest is concatenated to the default dir.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>layers</strong> <span class="target" id="index-3"></span>: [list(dict)|list(string)|string] [all,selected,copper,technical,user]
|
||
List of PCB layers to plot.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Valid keys:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">description</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-4"></span>: [string=’’] A description for the layer, for documentation purposes.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">layer</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-5"></span>: [string=’’] Name of the layer. As you see it in KiCad.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">suffix</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-6"></span>: [string=’’] Suffix used in file names related to this layer. Derived from the name if not specified.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>name</strong> <span class="target" id="index-7"></span>: [string=’’] Used to identify this particular output definition.
|
||
Avoid using <cite>_</cite> as first character. These names are reserved for KiBot.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>options</strong> <span class="target" id="index-8"></span>: [dict] Options for the <cite>pdf</cite> output.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Valid keys:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p><strong>output</strong> <span class="target" id="index-9"></span>: [string=’%f-%i%I%v.%x’] Output file name, the default KiCad name if empty.
|
||
IMPORTANT! KiCad will always create the file using its own name and then we can rename it.
|
||
For this reason you must avoid generating two variants at the same directory when one of
|
||
them uses the default KiCad name. Affected by global options.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>plot_sheet_reference</strong> <span class="target" id="index-10"></span>: [boolean=false] Include the frame and title block. Only available for KiCad 6+ and you get a poor result
|
||
(i.e. always the default worksheet style, also problems expanding text variables).
|
||
The <cite>pcb_print</cite> output can do a better job for PDF, SVG, PS, EPS and PNG outputs.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>scaling</strong> <span class="target" id="index-11"></span>: [number=1] Scale factor (0 means autoscaling).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">custom_reports</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-12"></span>: [list(dict)] A list of customized reports for the manufacturer.</p>

<li><p>Valid keys:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">content</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-13"></span>: [string=’’] Content for the report. Use ${basename} for the project name without extension.
|
||
Use ${filename(LAYER)} for the file corresponding to LAYER.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">output</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-14"></span>: [string=’Custom_report.txt’] File name for the custom report.</p></li>

</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dnf_filter</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-15"></span>: [string|list(string)=’_none’] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
|
||
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drill_marks</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-16"></span>: [string=’full’] [none,small,full] What to use to indicate the drill places, can be none, small or full (for real scale).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">edge_cut_extension</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-17"></span>: [string=’’] Used to configure the edge cuts layer extension for Protel mode. Include the dot.</p></li>

|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exclude_pads_from_silkscreen</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-19"></span>: [boolean=false] Do not plot the component pads in the silk screen (KiCad 5.x only).</p></li>
|

<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">force_plot_invisible_refs_vals</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-20"></span>: [boolean=false] Include references and values even when they are marked as invisible.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">individual_page_scaling</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-21"></span>: [boolean=true] Tell KiCad to apply the scaling for each layer as a separated entity.
|

Disabling it the pages are coherent and can be superposed.</p></li>
|

<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">inner_extension_pattern</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-22"></span>: [string=’’] Used to change the Protel style extensions for inner layers.

Example ‘.g%n’.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">line_width</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-23"></span>: [number=0.1] [0.02,2] For objects without width [mm] (KiCad 5).</p></li>

<li><p><strong>output</strong> <span class="target" id="index-34"></span>: [string=’%f-%i%I%v.%x’] Output file name, the default KiCad name if empty.
|
||
IMPORTANT! KiCad will always create the file using its own name and then we can rename it.
|
||
For this reason you must avoid generating two variants at the same directory when one of
|
||
them uses the default KiCad name. Affected by global options.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>plot_sheet_reference</strong> <span class="target" id="index-35"></span>: [boolean=false] Include the frame and title block. Only available for KiCad 6+ and you get a poor result
|
||
(i.e. always the default worksheet style, also problems expanding text variables).
|
||
The <cite>pcb_print</cite> output can do a better job for PDF, SVG, PS, EPS and PNG outputs.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>scaling</strong> <span class="target" id="index-36"></span>: [number=1] Scale factor (0 means autoscaling).</p></li>

<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">category</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-38"></span>: [string|list(string)=’’] The category for this output. If not specified an internally defined category is used.
|
||
Categories looks like file system paths, i.e. <strong>PCB/fabrication/gerber</strong>.

||
The categories are currently used for <cite>navigate_results</cite>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">custom_reports</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-39"></span>: [list(dict)] A list of customized reports for the manufacturer.</p>

|
||
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">drill_marks</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-44"></span>: [string=’full’] [none,small,full] What to use to indicate the drill places, can be none, small or full (for real scale).</p></li>

|
||
we recommend to add outputs only to existing groups. You can create an empty group if
|
||
needed.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">individual_page_scaling</span></code> <span class="target" id="index-51"></span>: [boolean=true] Tell KiCad to apply the scaling for each layer as a separated entity.

|
||
Internally we use 10 for low priority, 90 for high priority and 50 for most outputs.</p></li>
