How to automatically number elements in KiCad-electrical?
If there are any unassigned references, the netlist generator will ask if you want to annotate them. Let it do that, and it will number all your parts for you automatically.
What happens when you let KiCad number references?
When you let KiCAD number the references, it will also ask if it should renumber all of the existing parts. If you’ve already placed parts on the layout, and allow the netlist generator to renumber everything, then you will have a mess in your layout.
What can Eeschema do for Pcbnew and KiCad?
Eeschema is intended to cooperate with PcbNew, which is KiCad’s printed circuit design software. It can also export netlist files, which lists all the electrical connections, for other packages. Eeschema includes a symbol library editor, which can create and edit symbols and manage libraries.
How to save a schematic file in KiCad?

Is there a way to renumber a KiCad PCB?
I love KiCad, but one of its limitations is that there is no build in mechanism for renumbering reference designators on the PCB and mapping that information back into the schematic. RenumKiCadPCB is a feature rich command line utility for automatically renumbering the PCB reference designators on a KiCad PCB and then modifying the schematic.
