Step 1: schematics

The schematics is usually the single source of all logical information: - footprints, element refdes and values and connections (networks or nets). + footprints, refdes and values and connections (networks or nets). A project is just a directory that holds at least the schematics, but usually also the pcb layout file and scripts.
