Is it possible, and if so, how best to transfer a project created in PCB Editor to Schematic Editor? The question concerns “reverse engineering”. I’m transferring a project from a photo to KiCad, and it’s easier for me to draw traces between footprints based on the PCB, rather than starting with the schematic. However, after the work is finished, I would like to switch / “transfer” from the PCB Editor to the Schematic as automatically as possible. Is this feasible?
Reverse-engineering is a low priority for the KiCad developers. I am already quite happy the PCB editor can import some pictures of a PCB as a background. For the PCB part, the “Wire-It” plugin may be useful too, but I have no experience with it myself.
There is no “backward” workflow in KiCad from the PCB to the schematic. The process is mostly draw a few PCB tracks, then put a corresponding symbol in the schematic and making the same connections. And use DRC to verify and to keep both the schematic and the PCB synchronized with each other.
