The footprint .pretty file is not in the zip download for KiCad

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching us and for reporting this issue. We are going to investigate it, and we will get back to you as soon as we have an update.

Have a nice day!

Hello akaul6,

Thank you for waiting while we checked your inquiry. After reviewing the files, it appears that the KiCad folder you downloaded already contains the .kicad_mod file, which is the actual footprint file for this part.

Just as a clarification, the .pretty item is not a single file but a folder. In KiCad, a “.pretty” folder acts as a footprint library, and inside it you’ll find individual .kicad_mod files. Each of those .kicad_mod files represents one physical footprint.

For more details on how to import .kicad_mod files into KiCad, you can check this guide: https://www.snapeda.com/about/import/#KiCad6

We hope this provides the information you need. If there’s anything else we can help with, we’re always happy to assist.

All the best,
Dizar
