usb-labpower (Fungrim)ECADConfidence: Medium

An EasyEDA Pro design run through ConvertEDA came out as a mostly disconnected KiCad schematic, 81 nets against 26 on the board. 16 symbols saved at 270 degrees had their pins swapped against the PCB (C1 pin 2 on GND in the schematic, VBUS on the board), the 3.3 V net was split into +3V3 and +3v3 so the pour did not connect, and footprints were not linked to symbols. The repair used the PCB netlist as the reference until the schematic matched pad for pad.
