This group is for users of Kicad, the amazing integrated EDA program. Not only does it capture schematics and layout PCBs, it is open source, free and runs on a range of platforms. This group concentrates on actually using Kicad, so post your questions, hints, tips and suggestions for improvements.
windows 7 new laptop old 1.4ghz liux ubuntu laptop has faster refreshing on the board file. I am not shure what the problem is maby different renderers etc.
Although it does not import drill files, kicad's gerbv does load your gerbers (minus the drill files) and gives you a menu option to save to PCBNEW's format.
