While opening the pcb after creating the netlist ,the footprints are autogenerated and that are not same as in the schematic.Do I need to change all the net names so that I can connect the corresponding pins each other.Otherwise I am not able to do the same pin connections in the schematic.
What version KiCad?
Using an intermediate netlist is an obsolete workflow. Have you been referring to old tutorials?
The kicad version 7.
Use Tools → Update PCB from Schematic as retiredfeline implied (but didn’t say). Even if you have some specific reason to use an external netlist, you have to import it explicitly to the PCB editor after creating it (File → Import…).
In that case you should read the documentation at https://docs.kicad.org/ if you haven’t already, in particular the Getting Started document. And you should use the most up to date patch level of v7, which is 7.0.6 at the moment.
ok…Thank you so much
