Hi Markus. You need to make a fork under your own name, and then you can make all the branches you like. When you're ready, you can then send a merge request to the main kicad repository. Be aware that we are currently in feature freeze so no new features will be merged before the next release.

Another application I use has eye (oval outline, circular pupil, no eyelashes) for visible and eye outline (no pupil) with crossout line diagonally across it for not visible. Works pretty well. On 14.10.20 17:07, Jon Evans wrote: > (The contrast for the current icons is worse on Windows than on

2020-09-29 Thread Kliment (Future Bits)
I'd find it a loss if the scaling options were gone - I often end up using scaling for things like inductors, where there's too much variety to make a model for each size and height, so I'll often grab a model with the correct fp and wrong height and scale it. Kliment On 29.09.20 19:38, Ian

Having just routed a board with 56 diffpairs I have an idea about number 4: I think we should treat diffpairs as single traces when routing and when using the pns functionality to move them around. The trace should have the thickness of 2x dpair trace width + 1x dpair trace gap, and have a

Actually ladybugs are murderous predators that kill lots and lots of bugs - a single ladybug can murder thousands of aphids in a day. Spiders are very inefficient by comparison. But that's going offtopic in an already offtopic discussion. Kliment On 17.07.20 13:18, Mark Roszko wrote: > You would

Hey, Not sure who runs forum.kicad.info but the COMODO cert that was used for it expired today. Most browsers will refuse to load it. Just wanted to make sure whoever runs that server is aware. kicad.info itself (without forum.) does not present a certificate at all. Kliment

Hey, Without prejudice to whether or not this should be in Kicad, and how it should be implemented, there's a way to do this now, with existing tools. You start from gerbers - libgerbv supports this operation out of the box for example, and it knows exactly what it's trying to produce. So you can

Ignoring the bovine references and attempting to answer the question: Topological routing means using the connectivity graph of the system to generate geometrical constraints, and also to generate specific geometry for say traces or polygons. It's called that because it uses concepts from the

One issue I can think of offhand is that searching for "R2" would find "R21" and searching for "1uF" would match "0.1uF", both of which would be annoying. Maybe an "allow partial matches" checkbox? On 26.07.19 20:39, Jeff Young wrote: > PCBNew’s current Find does a match against the whole string.
