We store all component info in externa database or even Excelsheet. Its basically a bus you can build with arbitrary net names and sub busses. KiCad Version: (5.99.0-8185-g86be755c83), release buildĪltium have an excellent feature called Harness. Here is what I found missing in KiCad 5.99 to make it decent replacement to Altium. A smaller project specially if you stay out of BGAs and QFNs/SONs KiCad will do the work pretty much the same. And I think the routing function in many ways are superior to Altium. The last week I have tried to do complete design in KiCad (just not playing around) to see what it’s capable of. Since 20+ years Altium is first go to software. I have used many of the PCB / EDA software’s on the market. I am professional developer with 30+ years experience.
