Is there a way to convert whole PCB in new footprint?

Hi everyone ! I’m wondering if there is a way (or magic tool ^^) to make a new footprint from a PCB file ? In my case, i’m doing a small PCB which will be plug on others biggest PCB (like mother board). It’s easy to make a schematic symbol, but when I’m face to drawing the footprint… but since I designed the PCB of my small card, with all pads at right position, is there a way to transform the PCB file into a footprint ? I think we have to use only pads and edge cut layout which will give us …

Converting Board to Footprint

I have some Adafruit boards that I would like to incorporate into a layout as if they were components. Is there a way to convert the board into a single, standalone footprint that I can assign to a custom component? Or do I have to create a footprint manually from the board’s dimensions? Mark

Questions about a Mezzanine Implementation in KiCAD

I’m in the process of doing a layout which will have a stacked mezzanine daughter board on top of the main board I’m laying out. It will use standard 0.1" vertical unshrouded headers. So alignment of all the connector through holes is nessesary. This is a multi page schematic with extensive use of hierarchical sheets and global labels to partition the design within the same project. I have two separate schematic symbols with corresponding related footprints created for Main board and Daughterbo…
