[Kicad-developers] eeschema hiding references with hash prefix
Is there any real, important reason eeschema likes to go through and re-hide references to which a # has been prefixed? As far as I know, this is done to ensure power symbols don't have a visible reference, but those can be hidden from libedit anyway. It's a bit annoying - I have a sheet which is used twice in a project, but I needed to omit one specific component from just one instance of the sheet, so I added the # on that one (since references are unique to sheet instances). It works perfectly, except that eeschema insists on re-hiding it at some point (as well as, of course, the non-prefixed one on the other sheet). It's sensible that these shouldn't be visible by default, but why go hiding them if they've been explicitly made visible? -- Chris ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Kicad-developers] update on IGES modeling
Hi Cirilo, good to hear that! That would be an other good feature for kicad! Please consider also the option to convert and export vrml modules beside the plain pcb, so one can easily integrate the 3D rendering with the IGES export. I mean that, at the moment, modules has their vrml libraries and the 3D rendering is based on vrml too. So it would be a double work, without an internal and direct 3D feedback, to add iges modules to the project instead to export directly the vrml modules. May be it could be useful to add a check option (as for plain pcb export) to export pcb and vrml modules to iges. Please let me know your opinion...

I will conduct further tests by generating PCB assembly files from IDF files before moving on to planning the plugin refactoring in pcbnew, cleaning up the IGES lib in preparation for a possible merge into KiCad, and finally implementing the IGES export. One thing to consider with the IGES code is whether it is better to eventually merge it with KiCad or to leave the library as a separate project in hopes that other people on the web will be interested in improving the code for other purposes. - Cirilo ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] lib-cache-rescue should check pin names too
I originally didn't make lib-cache-rescue check pin names when testing whether a symbol has been modified, having in mind name changes that don't affect purpose (like VDD -> V+), but this caused a problem with the recent library change to swap diode pins around, as the numbers and positions never changed. Here's a quick patch to check the names too, so it'll pick up on A->K and fix diode symbols. -- Chris commit c2431899809769f2d0cd48d60c60b15c31a7deb9 Author: Chris Pavlina Date: Sun May 24 11:10:01 2015 -0400 Correct symbol rescue - check pin names too diff --git a/eeschema/lib_cache_rescue.cpp b/eeschema/lib_cache_rescue.cpp index 44c7c93..91a545d 100644 --- a/eeschema/lib_cache_rescue.cpp +++ b/eeschema/lib_cache_rescue.cpp @@ -219,7 +219,7 @@ static void find_rescues( std::vector& aComponents, PART_LIBS* a // Test whether there is a conflict if( !cache_match || !lib_match ) continue; -if( !cache_match->PinsConflictWith( *lib_match, /* aTestNums */ true, /* aTestNames */ false, +if( !cache_match->PinsConflictWith( *lib_match, /* aTestNums */ true, /* aTestNames */ true, /* aTestType */ true, /* aTestOrientation */ true, /* aTestLength */ false )) continue; ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Kicad-developers] [MacOS] compiling with link-time optimization
Hi! > - does not work on any Linux install Well, it works for me, and decreses the file size by a few megs. (gcc 4.9.2) I'd suggest integrating this as optional feature, like -DLTO=yes. There is a lot of work being done on lto support, and will get better in the future. It is annoying if you want to compile project with LTO (because, say, you're working on a compiler and want to test new stuff), and the project can't easily be compile that way. I know, since I'm doing this (with firefox) and I do need to have some more wrappers to do it.
