App to create PCB overview for creating manual

From your first post I didn’t understood what you exactly need.

Using User.1 layer, I need to create an outline for each component. Then view the board from top with only layer User.1 active.

In 2017 finding how to get such picture was my first task with KiCad (before I started designing first PCB). I decided to use for it Courtyard layers as there are no User layer pair (pair = swapping top/bottom with footprint). Because of this decision I have Ref and Value in my footprints at Courtyard layer.
Here I showed how my pictures look like:

Creating my first footprint: questions as a beginner

I’m trying to stick to that but as Kicad is not allowing me to have 1 symbol mapped to 2 footprints, You don’t understand. If your element has two connectors but not at cables but at its PCB then they both are ‘one insertion’ so one footprint. I started to assemble SMD myself around 1992 and till now I don’t have microscope. When I started to have to use glasses for reading I have bought a workshop lamp with magnifying glass. I have no space at desk for station so I use: Not needed. I…

With V4 and V5 I couldn’t get those pictured directly from KiCad so I exported to svg the copper layer and Courtyard layer (once with Values and once with References) and then mixed them using inkscape changing copper layer to gray 10%.
With V6 I don’t know, but with V7 I recently found that now I can get my pictured directly from KiCad using for it color themes.
