+# Schematic design description for `schematic draw`
+
+`xpedition-cli schematic draw --design FILE` plans a readable schematic from a
+compact JSON description and draws it through Xpedition Designer. The planner
+is pure Python (`xpedition_cli.schematic_layout`), so `--dry-run` shows the
+plan, the netlist it will produce and any convention issues before anything
+touches the product. In [the repository](https://github.com/fatecannotbealtered/xpedition-cli),
+`examples/demo-sensor-board.json` is a complete design and
+`examples/demo-sensor-board-kicad.json` the same design with KiCad footprints.

+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "XPEDITION-CLI DEMO BOARD",
+  "revision": "R1",
+  "date": "2026-09-17",
+  "status": "EXAMPLE DESIGN - NOT A PRODUCT",
+  "sheet_size": "A4",
+  "boxed_labels": true,
+  "symbols": {"...": "see §2"},
+  "sheets": [{"number": 1, "title": "01 ...", "description": "...", "blocks": [], "notes": []}]
+}
+```
+
+- `sheet_size`: `A`, `B`, `C`, `D`, `A4` or `A3`. Every sheet gets that border
+  and page size; `A4` suits a review draft.
+- `partition` (optional, default `PartQuest`, the partition a stock central
+  library registers for symbols, cells and parts; one it does not register
+  cannot be packaged): the library partition the generated symbols go to. It
+  names a folder and a `.prj` entry, so it is a plain identifier: a letter, then
+  letters, digits and `_`. Symbol names (§2) are plain names too: letters,
+  digits and `_ . + -`.
+- `packages` (optional, read by `library build`): the footprint of each part,
+  keyed by symbol kind or reference designator (a refdes key wins), e.g.
+  `{"RES": "0603", "U302": "TSSOP20", "CMP": "kicad:Package_SO:SOIC-8_3.9x4.9mm_P1.27mm"}`.
+  Stock keys are `0402`, `0603`, `0805`, `SOT23`, `TP`, `HOLE`, `HDR<n>`,
+  `SOIC<n>` and `TSSOP<n>`; a `kicad:Library:Footprint` key takes the cell from a
+  KiCad library imported with `library kicad-import`. Without an entry a part
+  gets a placeholder package for its kind and pin count.
+- `kicad_footprints` (optional): the KiCad footprint folder that `kicad:` keys
+  are read from to check their pads against the symbol's pins. Without it the
+  planner uses `XPEDITION_KICAD_FOOTPRINTS`, `KICAD9_FOOTPRINT_DIR` or
+  `KICAD8_FOOTPRINT_DIR`, then a standard KiCad install under Program Files.
+- `status`, `title`, `revision`, `date` form the footer of every sheet.
+- Titles, descriptions, block titles and notes may be Chinese: Designer shows
+  them correctly on screen. Net names, reference designators and values stay
+  ASCII. A PDF made with `schematic export` shows Chinese as mojibake (GBK
+  bytes drawn as Latin-1); extract it by re-encoding Latin-1 to GBK, or review
+  on screen.
+- Each sheet: `number` (1-based, the sheet Designer will show), `title` (the
+  strip across the top, `02 POWER`), `description`
+  (one line under it), `blocks`, `notes` (`Note 2-1: …`, lower left), and an
+  optional `zone`: the silkscreen label `pcb arrange` writes over that sheet's
+  parts on the board (its sheet number otherwise).
+
+## 2. Symbols
+
+Two-terminal kinds are built in and need no definition: `RES`, `CAP`, `CAPP`
+(polarised), `IND`, `DIODE`, `LED`, `SW`, `BAT`, `NTC` (thermistor). Pin `1`
+is the left pin, `2` the right; diodes have `2` = anode on the left, `1` =
+cathode on the right.
+
+Three-terminal kinds `NMOS` and `PMOS` are built in too. They go in `ic`
+blocks (§3) with a treatment per pin: `1` gate on the left, `2` source, `3`
+drain (SOT-23 order). An N-channel part has its drain on top, a P-channel part
+its source on top, so a high-side switch reads
+`"pins": {"1": "label:GATE", "2": "power:VBAT", "3": "label:OUT"}`.
+
+Marks are `ic` blocks as well: `TP` is a test point with one pin (`1`) pointing
+down, `{"kind": "ic", "refdes": "TP401", "symbol": "TP", "value": "TP",
+"x": 120, "y": 360, "pins": {"1": "label:+3V3"}}`; `HOLE` is a mounting hole
+with no pins, so its block carries no `pins` at all. Give both a `value`, or
+the review reports them as parts without a part number.
+
+Boxes for ICs and connectors are defined once per design:
+
+```json
+"MCU": {
+  "kind": "box",
+  "top":    [["1", "VDD"]],
+  "left":   [["3", "LID"], ["4", "RST"]],
+  "right":  [["5", "LED1"], ["6", "BOOST_EN"], ["", ""], ["7", "SDA"], ["8", "SCL"]],
+  "bottom": [["2", "GND"]],
+  "pintypes": {"1": "POWER", "2": "GROUND"}
+}
+```
+
+- Pins are `[number, name]` pairs in top-to-bottom / left-to-right order;
+  `["", ""]` leaves a gap row between groups.
+- Put power pins on `top`, ground on `bottom`, inputs `left`, outputs and
+  bidirectional `right`, as the conventions ask.
+- `pintypes` values: `IN`, `OUT`, `BI`, `TRI`, `OCL`, `OEM`, `ANALOG`,
+  `POWER`, `GROUND`; default `BI`. Type supply pins `POWER` / `GROUND`, inputs
+  `IN`, open-drain outputs `OCL`: Designer's verification warns for every `BI`
+  pin on a net that also has a `POWER` or `GROUND` pin (resistors and
+  capacitors excepted, so `RES`, `CAP` and `CAPP` keep `BI` pins). The other
+  built-in kinds -- `IND`, `DIODE`, `LED`, `SW`, `BAT`, `NTC`, the MOSFET drain
+  and source, and `TP` -- are `ANALOG` for that reason (the MOSFET gate is `IN`),
+  and a correct design verifies clean.
+
+Symbol files are generated from these definitions and named by content, so a
+changed definition is always a new symbol to Designer. They are written into
+the project's central library, which must live on an ASCII path: Designer does
+not find new symbol files under a path with other characters.
+
+## 3. Blocks: IC and connector
+
+```json
+{"kind": "ic", "refdes": "U101", "symbol": "LDO", "value": "LDO-3V3-SOT23-5", "x": 600, "y": 560,
+ "pins": {"1": "power:+5V", "2": "gnd", "3": "label:LDO_EN", "4": "nc",
+          "5": "power:+3V3"}}
+```
+
+- `x`, `y` is the symbol origin (centre of the body) in sheet units; `kind`
+  `connector` is the same block with a different word. `orientation` (optional)
+  turns the symbol: `0`, `1`, `2`, `3` for 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° counter-clockwise.
+- `pins` must name every pin of the symbol (DS-06); each gets a treatment from
+  §6. Several `gnd` pins on the bottom edge share one bar that runs one stub
+  past the last pin, with the single ground symbol on its free end: a pin on
+  the corner where a stub and the bar meet would not connect in Designer.
+- `value` is shown as the part's Part Number text until a central library
+  assigns real part numbers.
+
+## 4. Blocks: ladder and chain
+
+```json
+{"kind": "ladder", "x": 660, "y": 640,
+ "path": ["power:+5V", {"refdes": "R301", "symbol": "RES", "value": "100k 1%"},
+          "label:FB", {"refdes": "R302", "symbol": "RES", "value": "18k 1%"}, "gnd"]}
+```
+
+- A ladder is vertical: `x`, `y` is its top node; nodes follow every 60 units
+  downwards, parts sit between them with pin `1` up. A `chain` is the same
+  thing horizontally, `x`, `y` its left node, parts with pin `1` on the left.
+- `path` alternates node, part, node, … and ends on a node. `"flip": true` on a
+  part turns it round (cathode up, for instance).
+- **A `path` holds as many parts as the run has.** Draw a series run as one
+  ladder, not as several one-part ladders joined by matching labels: things that
+  are connected should look connected, and a sheet where nothing but the labels
+  connects is a netlist rather than a schematic.
+
+  ```json
+  {"kind": "ladder", "x": 160, "y": 530,
+   "path": ["power:VBAT",
+            {"refdes": "R206", "symbol": "RES", "value": "20mR 1%"},
+            "label:VSNS_B",
+            {"refdes": "R207", "symbol": "RES", "value": "5.1R 0402"},
+            "label:SNS2B"]}
+  ```
+
+  The intermediate node carries the label, so a third part joining the run there
+  connects to a named net rather than to a coincidence of two labels.
+- `gnd` may only end a ladder; `power:` normally starts one.
+- Two-terminal parts only; ICs go in `ic` blocks and connect by labels.
+
+## 5. Blocks: text and box
+
+```json
+{"kind": "text", "text": "5 V INPUT", "x": 90, "y": 690, "size": 9}
+{"kind": "box", "x1": 60, "y1": 500, "x2": 560, "y2": 610}
+```
+
+Block titles, overview boxes and free notes. Sizes are sheet units: 14 for a
+sheet title, 9 for block titles, 8 for body text.
+
+## 6. Nodes
+
+| Node | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `power:+3V3` | a power symbol carrying that net |
+| `gnd` | a ground symbol (`Globals:gnd`) |
+| `label:NAME` | a boxed net label; identical labels are one net across all sheets |
+| `none` | a bare junction between two parts, left unnamed |
+| `nc` | (IC pins only) a no-connect mark |
+
+Net names: ASCII `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`; rails by voltage (`+5V`, `+3V3`) or role
+(`VBUS`, `VBAT`); active-low `_N`.
+
+## 7. What the planner checks
+
+- DS-06: every IC pin has a treatment.
+- DS-07: every part and symbol lies inside the border margin.
+- DS-08: parts that are not wired to each other inside one ladder keep at
+  least 30 units apart.
+- DS-15: no label box, power or ground symbol lands on the free end of another
+  net's wire (Designer would refuse the draw, or merge the two nets).
+- DS-16: pin names on a top or bottom edge fit the pin pitch; wider ones overlap
+  into one unreadable row.
+- Grid: every position and wire point is a multiple of 10.
+
+Two kinds of result. DS-06, the grid, a wire that is not orthogonal, a reference
+designator used twice on one sheet and a treatment for a pin the symbol does not
+have make the design undrawable: the dry run refuses it with `E_VALIDATION` and
+issues no token. DS-07, DS-08, DS-15 and DS-16 are reported in `summary.issues`
+and the draw still runs, so read them. The planner does not check that a
+reference designator is unique across sheets; keep the refdes numbering per
+sheet (R1xx on sheet 1, R2xx on sheet 2) so they cannot collide.
+After drawing, the adapter reopens the project, reads every net back and
+compares it with the plan (`netlist.matches`, `differences`, `links_broken`).
+
+## 8. Geometry the planner uses
+
+Sheet units, 10 per grid step. Passives are 40 units pin to pin; IC boxes grow
+with their longest pin names; stubs are 20 units; labels sit at the stub end
+with a 6-unit-per-character box. A4 is 1169 × 827 units with the title strip at
+the top left and the notes and footer at the bottom left; keep parts inside
+x 60–1110 and y 150–700 and clear of the title block in the lower right.
