You have missed out a couple of steps. PCBnew reads a netlist and
footprint file, so that is what you have to generate.
1. create your circuit in eeschema.
2. while in eeschema you need to annotate your circuit. Top toolbar 4th
icon from the right.
At this point I normally save the netlist just
I completed a schematic but I can not figure out how to communicate with
PCBNew so that it will have access to the schematic.
The PCBNew import function is expecting a schematic with a *.SES extension.
When I am inside Eeschema the only save option that I have is *.SCH
extension.
When you press the 'run pcbnew' button, it tries to open up a file with the
same name as your schematic, but as you haven't created it yet, it can't
find it. However, when you start to create your board in pcbNew and then
save it, your file will then exist.
