MitjaNemec/SaveRestoreLayout26This plugin implements footprint modules or snippets feature. The plugin saves partial layout corresponding to footprints from one hierarchical sheet so that it can be restored in other projects.
Save restore destination project is an open-source printed circuit board by MitjaNemec, from the MitjaNemec/SaveRestoreLayout repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board with 25 parts on 20 nets.
Its parts include 16 resistors, 6 capacitors and 3 inductors.
[!NOTE] The functionality of this plugin is now available in KiCad natively! As such, this plugin is no longer updated. For details on KiCad's multichannel implementation, see official KiCad documentation.
This plugin implements footprint modules or snippets feature. The plugin saves partial layout corresponding to footprints from one hierarchical sheet so that it can be restored in other projects. All projects have to use the same hierarchical sheet schematics. If the schematics has been edited, the plugin will refuse to restore the layout. So in projects where you need to change the schematics slightly, first restore the layout and then change the schematics.
The preferred way to install the plugin is via KiCad's PCM (Plugin and Content Manager). Installation on non-networked
can be done by downloading the latest release and installing
in with PCM with Install from file option
There is a bug in KiCad when reusing hierarchical sheets which contain multiple instances of same nested sheet. the bug causes unintended changes in schematics files, which will cause the plugin to fail. Please read the bug description which also contains a workaround for such cases.

25 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the MitjaNemec/SaveRestoreLayout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SaveRestoreDestinationProject/save_restore_destination_project.kicad_pcb and its schematic SaveRestoreDestinationProject/local_1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
