Panelization.pretty
===================
LAYOUT FILES: KiCad footprints useful for PCB panelization (mouse-bites...).
## How to add the footprints:
1. Download/clone this repo.
2. open Footprint editor in KiCad, there "File / Import footprint from KiCad File..."
3. Select one of the mouse-bite kicad_mod files
4. Save it to your project or make a local library
Or place the full Panelization.pretty folder in your KiCad library folder.
## How to use the footprints:
1. Place the footprint on your pcb edge
2. Connect the Edge.Cuts layer to the footprint
3. draw the half circles on the Edge.Cuts layer
4. enjoy
## Examples:
the 5mm wide mouse bites:

2mm wide connecting different layouts:

## panelization:
when your PCB is ready, mark everything, then right click and "Create Array". Choose a grid that the spacing matches the choosen mouse bite width.

then place mouse bite footprint and modify the Edge.Cuts layer on the first pcb. Then just "Create Array" on this again.
