KiCad Project Template - Lesson 3
Hi,
I'm at Lesson 3 - Creating Project Templates. To make a good template for my project I read the documentation related to Drawing Sheet Editor: https://docs.kicad.org/8.0/en/pl_editor/pl_editor.html. I quickly found that unfortunately it's outdated. I created a issue on KiCad website: https://gitlab.com/kicad/services/kicad-doc-website/-/issues/38. I see that there is no big activity there, maybe here we can discuss about creating a good template?
Some of my personal preferences:
- Change every size to mils as schematic grid is in mils
- Margins 250 mils left, 285 mils right, 800 mils top and 892.99 mils bottom to adjust for page size
- Page size A3 - unfortunately it's in metric so margins are adjusted
- Text width and height 50 mils (Title 80x80 mils), step between rows 100 mils
- Block size 2000 x 2000 mils
- Text margin from the left 50 mils
- Grid step 50 mils
* Edit nr 1 - adjusted margins
