Hi, That sounds very useful to me, I would like to use such a library. I have experimented with some C++ code to generate footprints, by generating text file output, and there have been a couple of parts where I wanted to integrate copper areas for grounding. I ended up generate s

I think we'd always wanted a footprint editor to be a mode in PCB, not a separate utility. That gives you all the HID graphics, editing tools, and support libraries built-in. File->Open->footprint edits the footprint, File->Open->layout edits a board. Or right-click-on-element then "edit elemen

2010-05-19 Thread Robert Spanton
Hi, I'm considering doing some work to tease PCB's footprint/element and board file parsing and writing routines out into a shared library. I'd like to do this so that I can experiment with writing a different kind of GUI for creating PCB footprints. Obviously I'd like to avoid duplicating the p
