Make professional PCB layouts with up to 32 copper layers. KiCad now has a push and shove router which is capable of routing differential pairs and interactively tuning trace lengths. KiCad comes packed with many useful features for helping you create printed electronic circuits.

KiCad allows you to upload NET files and view the selected footprint, record macros, assign hotkeys, and save the generated projects to ZIP file format.

Other important options worth mentioning enable users to use the PCB editor for setting up design rules, zooming in or out of the working environment, working with multiple layers, inserting tracks, zones, arcs, circles, and polygons, as well as switching to a 3D mode. Plus the PCBs can be printed or exported to DSN, CAD, or WRL.
