KiCAD files

Import KiCad files into Fusion so you can manage the schematic and PCB files together.

KiCad saves schematic files separately and follows a hierarchical structure. When you import KiCad schematics into Fusion, they are combined into a single Fusion schematic file with two translation options:

Sheets Translation (recommended): KiCad schematic files are combined into one file and translated into different sheets, keeping the original reference designator names in the 2D PCB.
Modules Translation: KiCad schematic files are combined into one file and translated into different modules that include the path in the reference designator names.

Supported KiCad file import types

KiCad File Type	KiCad filename extension	Fusion Electronics File Type	Fusion Electronics filename extension
Project	KICAD_PRO	Electronics Design	FPRJ
Schematic	KICAD_SCH	Schematic	FSCH
2D PCB	KICAD_PCB	2D PCB	FBRD
Library Footprint	KICAD_MOD	Library	FLBR
Library Symbol	KICAD_SYM

Note: Fusion only supports the import of KiCad v7 files or higher.

Limitations

Fusion does not import grid setting preferences from KiCad files.
