Using KiCad and FreeCAD To Make Useful Documentation - A Video

For users interested in taking an assembled Kicad PCB and making an Exploded 2D-Drawing of it… Useful for Documentation, Instructions and Presentation…

Using KiCadStepUp and FreeCAD, along with it’s various Workbenches to do things a User might want to do…

Video shows using a result of a previously loaded PCB, Traces/Pads and Parts to which I used the “Exploded Assembly” Workbench to make animated Assembly/Disassembly then used it’s result in the TechDraw Workbench.

I did Not bother to detail it or make it pretty with Trajectory lines, Annotations, Text, Dimensions, Photo’s…etc. The details of loading the PCB/etc are not included (I’ve previously posted info on doing that…)

Did just enough to make a Postible-Video-Sized file that may attract interest…
