Check out the "replicate layout" plugin in the plugin and content manager. It does exactly this. There are plans to implement this in the main application for a later version, but for now the plugin should get you most of the way there.


OK thenx,

(BTW: as I said, I'm not using autoruoter ... because its' a plugin and it fails with my <debian-11> version of java runtime 🙁, I hope it will not be the same case with replication layout plugin )


Replicate Layout is a Python plugin and should work with no issues. It does not use Java, and Python is already bundled with KiCad so it should work fine. See https://github.com/MitjaNemec/ReplicateLayout for usage instructions. Make sure you save your schematic before using it.



I'm planning to focus on dissecting the "create-fresh-pcb" source code at this point.... whenever I'll have time (not doing the actual pcb design). Having this done will greatly improve my workflow.

Note that KiCad is currently in feature freeze and will not be accepting any new features until after the release of the next version, V7. You can still submit new feature contributions on gitlab, of course, but they will not be reviewed and merged until after the release, currently planned for early 2023. More details at
