This wiki document is an example of how to create Kicad Templates. You don’t need to follow the files system structure I used in this this example. I have selected this file system method for personal ease of use on my Raspberry Pi 4 This document was written to support Kicad 5.X but can be used with Kicad 6.X The same process works for other linux and Windows versions.
Change the Path for User Templates in Kicad
Open Kicad
Select: Preferences Tab
Select Configure Paths
: | Name | Path |
Select: | KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR | /home/pi/kicad/template |
Under Path column change to: /home/pi/Kicad-projects/Kicad-templates
Set up your computer file structure.
In your home directory create a directory named Kicad-projects. mkdir /home/pi/Kicad-projects Then CD to your new directory. cd Kicad-projects In the Kicad-projects directory make another directory named kicad-templates. mkdir kicad-templates
mkdir /home/pi/Kicad-projects/kicad-templates
