KiCad 8
Elektor 11-12/2024, p. 22 (240278)
I have enthusiastically familiarized myself with KiCad. Now I am facing a problem. In order to avoid working across many files, I have created a composite project containing several circuit diagram sheets. Each circuit diagram sheet contains a separate circuit diagram corresponding to a daughterboard. All of these will be connected to a main board. However with this arrangement, I am unable to create a separate layout for each board in the PCB editor. This is also reflected in the 3D viewer. If you have a solution to the above, I would be very grateful.

To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible for KiCad to operate in the way that you would like. While a board may have its schematic spread over several sheets (to help with organization), it can only have a single layout. I hope this helps!
