Tidy in one step
Clean up the first pass automatically so the schematic is readable before deeper layout work.
Use case
One shortcut to a tidy KiCad project.
Auto-clean a messy first pass and export a ready-to-use KiCad project, so your real layout workflow starts from something readable.

01 | THE PROBLEM
A messy draft slows everything downstream
01
An ugly first pass is hard to read and harder to lay out.
02
Re-packaging a schematic for KiCad by hand is fiddly busywork.
03
Missing footprints and stray nets surface at the worst time, after export.
02 | HOW PROTOFLOW HELPS
Ready-to-use export
Get a KiCad project bundle, schematic, netlist, and footprints, that opens without a library scavenger hunt.
Continue in your EDA
Drop straight into KiCad or Altium with parts and nets already defined and validated.
03 | HOW CLEANUP & EXPORT WORKS
1Clean
Tidy the draft
Run cleanup to standardize the layout of the schematic and the wiring.
2Validate
Clear DRC/ERC
Resolve electrical warnings so you do not carry mistakes into layout.
3Export
Export a KiCad project
Export a ready-to-use bundle and start placement immediately.
04 | FAQ
What do I get on export?
A KiCad project bundle, the schematic, netlist, and associated footprints, packaged so KiCad opens it cleanly.
Does it support Altium too?
ProtoFlow is built to hand a clean project into your main EDA so your real layout workflow starts further ahead.
Will footprints come across?
Yes, when parts are bound to real components, their footprints export with the project.
