Standard page layout in eschema (*.wks)

[maxwaldo]

I am trying to configure Kicad in a way that when creating a new project and invoking the schematic editor the first time (for this new project), loading the (obviously) empty schematic it uses automatically a custom page layout. (worksheet). I am on Kicad 7

There is no individual configuration how a new project/schematic/pcb is started.
The suggested way is to use project-templates: KiCad | 7.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad

loading the (obviously) empty schematic it uses automatically a custom page layout.

I start each project by copying one of last projects (using file browser I copy all project files giving them a new name). This way I have all settings (including page layout) the same as I had in previous project.

Both the Default PCB and Default Schematic use the same Worksheet.

The worksheet that will be used for both gets declared in the .kicad_pro file.
It’s declared in a single descr line for the PCB.

If you want to use different Worksheets for the PCB and Schematic, you can declare the one for the Schematic in the .kicad_pro file. [edit the file, it’s a text file]

Of course, it makes sense to make a Template and to do the above for the .kicad_pro file in the Template.

Doing it this way enables you to have different or similar Worksheet graphics, layout and notes/comments (they will retain what you define in the usual manner using the Settings for Paper size icon in PCB/Schematic.

That is how I do it - my comments for PCB are different than comments for Schematic.

Example for PCB and Schematic worksheets and the descr string in the .kicad_pro file.
