SU.897 Spike: KiCad boards into PartCraft for enclosure design

  • Spike
  • Built · Live
  • PartCraft

Asked: schematic and PCB place-and-route, a more modern KiCad (#897, Oct 21).

A full EDA is not an app in the lineup (owner can overrule). Spike: read .kicad_pcb (open S-expression format) → board outline, holes, component bodies (boxes, or their STEP models when present) into PartCraft so an enclosure can be designed around a board; written up with what a deeper step would take.

Waits on: Hand check is community test SU.897-HAND (not blocking)

From: site suggestion
