Re: [Kicad-developers] Via Stitching

Heikki, What is the purpose of the "stitch" token added to the file format? Vias already have a netcode field so adding "stitch" to the file format seems to serve no purpose. I would prefer that you avoid the term stitching. Vias could just as easily be thermal vias. I don't think the generic

I tested the patches and both the legacy and GAL canvases appear to behave the same way so if no one objects, I'm going to commit the changes. In the future, please commit your changes and use git format-patch to generate patches. It makes my life easier. On 1/16/2017 1:38 PM, Константин

Yes. This is a useful piece of information in case we suddenly get a rash of python scripting bug reports. On 1/16/2017 2:15 PM, Simon Wells wrote: > Should this option be added to the about box->copy version info for > completeness? > > On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 8:08 AM, Jean-Samuel Reynaud >

Hi all, Please find attached the patch for the action plugin menu. There is a build option to enable/disable this feature: KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU => It's disabled by default Now there is a refresh button. It took new plugins, update existing ... like in footprint wizard dialog. I had

You are not being ignored. I can't speak for all of the lead developers but I've been really busy so pretty much everyone has been getting ignored by me. It's not intentional, it's just the reality of my current work load. Patch is giving me an unexpected eof with 3d_viewer-pan_step.patch. Did

Re: [Kicad-developers] Local ratsnest

Hello! good initiative checking for use cases! I use ratsnest initially to populate the board, checking where everything goes etc. I would like to be able to hide nets like GND and 3V3 since I most often do 4 layers desgin with each of these as an entire plane. Then to be able to select a

Re: [Kicad-developers] Local ratsnest

Hi Orson,   the usecase for me is information reduction; sometimes you can loose the overview when too much at once is displayed.   For instance if you want to optimize only the placement of a component group, such as a DC-DC converter, the ratnest of other components is uninteresting and

Re: [Kicad-developers] Local ratsnest

I can see the value in both per net visibility and local ratsnest. Having local ratsnest (the current footprint selected) visibility is handy when placing footprints to minimize the number of signal crossings. Having per net visibility is handy in complex designed so you can turn off nets to

Re: [Kicad-developers] Local ratsnest

Hi Orson, It is useful for me when start a new project when there are no much "mechanical component placement constraints" so it helps to optimize the component placement to achieve the smaller board and component orientation. Also as there is no intelligent component auto-placement, it helps

[Kicad-developers] Local ratsnest

One of the features that are available in the legacy canvas, but not in GAL is local ratsnest. Now, we need to decide whether we would like the same functionality in the GAL canvas, or perhaps should it be modified. Do you use it? If so, what are your use cases? Do you think it would be better to

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

For basic work, maybe reusing zones functionality in the footprint editor will be enough, and then the anchors would be added by regular circular or rectangular pads. Similar to how one would add custom paste layers today. For more advanced, I vote svg or gerber import. SVG is a common file
