N2 - KiCad [1] has rapidly become one of the most popular open-source and freely available packages for schematic entry and PCB layout. Every design package has its own quirks and characteristics. I have spent more than a few hours searching for solutions to problems with the software. In this article, I present two solutions solved by using 3D computer-assisted design (CAD). The CAD package presented is CadQuery [2], which is a library for Python. This library enables us to create complex CAD objects through code.
