Hey everyone, I recently started using KiCad for designing PCBs for crossovers in loudspeakers. I am more used to working in Pad2Pad, however I am enjoying the workflow in KiCad and was curious about what techniques/tools exist within KiCad to double check your copper/via/pad connections. In Pad2Pad, you can select a copper region and press Alt + C to highlight all traces/pads/vias that are connected to this copper region. Is there a similar tool in KiCad that does this? Thanks in advance, Rafael ..read more

After designing a power supply, I have placed components, made tracks, copper areas, keepout areas etc. The goal is to make a dual power supply. Except for input and management parts, I would like to just “clone” the power stage to another schematic sheet, and clone the power design (with components and PCB design) how can this be done? - or am I stuck with doing it manually ..read more
