What this conversion is for

Prepare a structured ODB++ handoff from the board. The resulting archive contains related files whose folder layout is part of the package.

Prepare your KiCad files

Upload the saved .kicad_pcb board for layout conversion. Keep related project files in one ZIP when needed. A schematic alone cannot supply board routing or manufacturing geometry.

Check the ODB++ ZIP archive result

Inspect the ODB++ matrix, board profile and drill alignment. Compare top and bottom component placement and custom pad material with the source.

Check footprint sides, copper layers, zones and drill locations. Per-layer pad shapes and custom pads need particular attention when changing manufacturing formats.
