KiCad 10 is live and 100% supported by AISLER 🧑

Hey there :orange_heart:

KiCad 10 is live with hundreds of bug fixes, a native Dark Mode, Time-Domain Tuning for high-speed signals, and proper design variant support. Naturally, we at AISLER are fully geared up to manufacture your new projects right from day one! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: You can use our handy AISLER PushForKiCad plugin for instant uploads or simply drop your new native files directly into our web interface.

Upgrades for Everyday Use

KiCad 10 now offers the highly anticipated native Dark Mode for Windows. Furthermore, major quality-of-life upgrades like customisable toolbars, freeform β€œlasso” selection, and seamless undo/redo support directly inside dialogue windows accelerate your everyday layout workflow.

High-Performance Routing & Design Variants

The completely overhauled track tuning revolutionises high-speed designs.

Instead of rigid lengths, you now utilise picosecond-accurate time constraints and, thanks to the new tuning profiles, even define layer-specific routing parameters – all whilst remaining entirely DRC-consistent. Additionally, native design variants for BOM management and visual hop-over wire crossings massively streamline your schematic design.

Reusable Blocks & Bulletproof Vias

The brand-new PCB Design Blocks let you save perfectly tuned layout modules and instantly drop them into new projects. For flawless manufacturing, KiCad 10 introduces native IPC-4761 via protection support, allowing you to precisely define tented, plugged, or capped vias directly in your editor.

Graphical DRC

The new Graphical DRC Rule Editor lets you build advanced constraints visually.
