Edit the board in KiCad¶
WholeBoard's output is an ordinary KiCad project, and changes you make to it are kept.
- Open the board from the revision's folder (
~/WholeBoardProjects/<project>/revN/) in KiCad. - Move parts, reroute or widen tracks, and save.
- Ask the designer for a change, or press rebuild.
The next build notices:
- parts you moved keep their positions (they come back as placements marked
"from": "kicad"); - tracks and vias you edited are kept as locked copper (
fixed_copper), and TraceMaker routes only what is left.
The chat says what was kept, and History marks the revision as edited in KiCad.
Start the layout afresh¶
Set "keep_kicad_edits": false in the design (⋯ → Edit design JSON), or ask the designer to start the layout again.
