Copper pads only

Great. that is why. now I saw both footprint in my library. I juts need to connect these two together.

Now I have two 32 pins connectors connected in schematic, and assign each of them to one of my footprints.

when trying to update PCB from schematic, I got this message box.

I got errors now.

Looks like you haven’t numbered your pads in your footprint . . . how else is the symbol meant to be mapped to the footprint ?

I redone it, and it look ok

I do get one error:

That’s natural because the purpose of the courtyard is to define area for a component where other components shouldn’t be. The wizard created the courtyards. If my guess was correct, you will have a component on the qfn footprint but not on the soic. You can just remove the courtyard and also the fab layer outline and/or silkscreen from the soic footprint because you use the footprint for other purpose than for a component.

Or, you can just ignore the error, or exclude it. This is very simple board, you just have to know what you need there.

Your traces are much too thin.

Thanks
By the way, are these need to be connected? I got error from Schematics when I run DRC

thank you for the comments

Why did you select a symbol with mount pins? Your parts are ICs, not connectors.

how to change the size of the track?

Change your selection filter to “Tracks” only (uncheck everything else), draw a selection rectangle over the entire board. That should get all the tracks selected. Then hit “e” and change the track width in the dialog box.

Thank you for all of yours comments and help. I finally got it to work without an error when I run DRC. it is a very simple board but took me a while. I learned a lot from you guys. I used Eagle years back, so the first time I use Kicad.

Any other comments please.

You’ll probably have to ask the factory to panelise them using V-cuts because the individual boards will be too small.
