Dear Support
i am new to Kicad and i would like to ask if you can show me how to select in a gerber viewer all the througholes and GND measuring points as well as a few SMD’s and put these coordinates inside CSV. is there a faster way? else wise i have to do 2400 connections and mistakes are guaranteed by this number.
many thanks
Bastiaan
KiCad gerber viewer doesn’t have that much functionality. It’s just a basic viewer. Gerber file’s don’t even have that much information so that you could identify “SMD’s” (especially if you mean whole parts/footprints and their centroids). If you have a KiCad project you should use the board editor, and there it’s at least possible to create python scripts for these kinds of tasks if it doesn’t support the use cases already.
I don’t know the file formats, but can’t you get that info from Footprint position (.pos) files?
