Next, you need to tell KiCad if you want to keep this library specific to the current project or if you want it available globally. Global means all projects can access it. Add an existing KiCad Schematic Library. If you already created a schematic library file, you can “Add Library” and then select Global or Project. Windows: C:Documents and SettingsusernameMy Documentskicadtemplate or C:UsersusernameDocumentskicadtemplate. Mac: /Documents/kicad/template/. You might have to open your default project (kicad.pro) and add the libraries, it should be located in /share/template. Make sure you do this for both the schematic symbols (eeschema) and the footprints (pcbnew), and save the kicad.pro file. I use the windows version, so I can't provide help on the Mac specifics.

Introduction: Adding New Libraries to KICAD

KiCad is a free software suite for electronic design automation (EDA). It facilitates the design of schematics for electronic circuits and their conversion to PCB designs. It features an integrated environment for schematic capture and PCB layout design. Tools exist within the package to create a bill of materials, artwork, Gerber files, and 3D views of the PCB and its components.

Supplies

Step 1: Open KiCAD Website

• Open Official Kicad Website to download a library to add.

Step 2: Select Libraries

Step 3: Download a Library

• Select Schematic symbols: https://kicad.github.io/symbols

Step 4: Select a Library

• Scroll down and select the library you need finally download it

For example: I will select 'Amplifier_Audio' library

Note :

when you download the library file you will notice that the file is compressed

you will need to uncompress 'extract' the library files so you can add it to Kicad

Step 5: Open KiCAD

1. Open KICAD.
2. Select the Preferences menu.
3. Then Select Manage Symbol Libraries...

3D Models

Kicad Library Location Machine

The KiCad 3D model libraries are the individual .3dshapes directories.These 3d models are best used in combination with the official footprint libs.Each directory directory contains multiple 3D model files, with the following supported file formats.

WRL

WRL files provide support for material properties, allowing superior 3D rendering within KiCad

STEP

STEP files are required for integration with MCAD software.
