Maybe, but it must be saved somehow. If it is saved locally it will not be possible to create footprints with that fixed options (with 3d and mec. models files and each flag) If that is saved per-footprint then it need to be saved in the kicad format (that I dont know how it works). and that need a change in the file format.. I am not the person to discuss this as I don't know the details how that could be implemented. > hoping also material props option will be working again I was thinking to remove that option, but on non-realist mode it will only use the diffuse material. (so you can use the non realist mode to render without materials) So that will work as an "eng viewer" That options (not use the material props) exists because it is an workarround for the bad materials in some of the modules in the actual kicad library. That use of the material props option to display/hide enclosures, must be implemented as a proper solution as proposed in 2) > look at zoom fit in page that resize the view, but it doesn't restore initial > orientation of the board I am also looking on that one at moment.
