Directions:

Applicable to: KiCad EDA 5.1.0 +

1. To download the plugin, use the following command

Windows Installation:

git clone https://github.com/xtoolbox/kicad_tools.git %appdata%/kicad/scripting/plugins/kicad_tools

Linux Installation:

git clone https://github.com/xtoolbox/kicad_tools.git ~/kicad/scripting/plugins/kicad_tools

or:

git clone https://github.com/xtoolbox/kicad_tools.git ~/.kicad_plugins/kicad_tools

Mac OS Installation:

git clone https://github.com/xtoolbox/kicad_tools.git ~/Library/Application Support/kicad/scripting/plugins/kicad_tools

New versions of Mac OS:

git clone https://github.com/xtoolbox/kicad_tools.git ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/scripting/plugins/kicad_tools

2. Or execute the Gen Manufacture Docs command under [Tools]->[External Tools].

3. The BOM file and location file will be stored in the same directory as the PCB in CSV format, and the Gerber and drill files will be placed in the Gerber directory under the PCB directory. The slots in the drill files generated by this method will be converted into multiple normal holes.

Notice :

GenMFDoc() will change the drilling origin of the circuit board. It is recommended to use GenMFDoc() to generate the BOM file and position file first, and then generate the Gerber file. The generated BOM file and coordinate file as well as the Gerber and drilling files can be directly mounted on sz-jlc.com
