Hello and welcome @John87

What you wish to do is called “Panelize”.

There is a plugin called “KiKit” available on the front page of Kicad in the “Plugin and Content Manager” that will accomplish this when that plugin is installed.

There are methods using Kicad that may also be suitable. I’ve never used Kicad for plugins but others may contribute to this thread to explain how.

Thx a lot for answer, i instaleld this plug in, now i need to understand hwo it work.

Again thx for help,
Have a nice day,

Hi John,

I think you should mean panelize the small boards on the same panel and need use V-score.
You need change and panelize similar to the attached picture or the PCBs factories are not able to V score. The V score line should be one straight line. If use jump V score, you need leave safe distance.
