1const e=`--- 2date: 2022-07-19 3title: Easy KiCad PCB panelization with kicad-util 4--- 5There are multiple panelizers available for KiCad, but only one is suitable for easily placing multiple oddly-shaped PCBs onto a panel: the [kicad-util panelizer](https://gitlab.com/dren.dk/kicad-util). 6 7You simply place the PCBs next to each other and draw lines between them on the Eco1.User layer. Then run a kicad-util command, and voila! The lines are transformed into mouse-bites. 8 9Unfortunately, kicad-util is not compatible with KiCad 6's updated PCB format, so the drawn lines are no longer converted to mouse bites. 10 11Luckily, [a merge request](https://gitlab.com/dren.dk/kicad-util/-/merge_requests/1) contains the fix, but kicad-util's creator is not available anymore. Although the contributor of the merge request created [his fork](https://gitlab.com/markxr/kicad-util), the .jar file has not been recompiled, so the fixed version is not easily accessible to most users. 12 13Given the above, I recompiled the fixed kicad-util version with the \`mvn package\` command and made [the .jar file](https://github.com/mondalaci/kicad-util-jar/raw/main/kicadutil.jar) available. I use it as: 14 15\`\`\` 16java -jar ~/bin/kicadutil.jar pcb -f=myboard.kicad_pcb panel --inset=0 --hole=0.35 --pitch=0.7 --width=2.5 --fillet=1 17\`\`\` 18`;export{e as default};
