[Kicad-developers] PATCH: fix kicad2step non-ASCII filename problem in MinGW

This patch fixes the non-ASCII filename problem in Windows+MinGW. When this patch is applied, and OCE is built under MinGW with the patch I previously supplied, all 3D model viewing and STEP export appear to work mostly as expected. There is one remaining issue to resolve which is correctly

[Kicad-developers] PATCH: [OCE] hack to support UTF8 filenames on MinGW

This patch is not really part of kicad, but it hacks OCE0.17.3 to provide UTF8 filename support under MinGW. I say it's a hack because it breaks all builds except under MinGW so it should not be applied except to the MinGW build. I used the latest in the 0.17 series of OCE and did not test

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH/RFC] Pcbnew initial startup user experience

Only read through this quickly as I'm pretty busy, but it looks good to me. There's another issue I've had in mind with the pcbnew OOBE: now that I'm adding footprint preview to eeschema, the pcbnew init routines happen on the first run of the eeschema component selector... I was thinking about

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH/RFC] Pcbnew initial startup user experience

Hi, Here is a (proposed) patchset to modify the "user experience" (to use a buzzword) of Pcbnew and cvPcb when the user loads it for the first time with no fp-library-table. The current behaviour is quite unfriendly, as it doesn't get the user to consent to an action when initialising the

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

A few more notes: - Grid settings hasn't been added in the GUI yet; I'll be taking that from pcbnew so user can pick dot/line/small - Negative items don't work in Cairo canvas yet. On Sat, Mar 4, 2017 at 4:28 PM, Jon Evans wrote: > Dcode should be better now than it was an

Dcode should be better now than it was an hour ago, depending on when you pulled. I'm working on DCode performance at the moment. -Jon On Sat, Mar 4, 2017 at 4:23 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > Nice. > > The D-codes do indeed look funky. > > I note that the grid is drawn with

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

Nice. The D-codes do indeed look funky. I note that the grid is drawn with lines, not with dots and it is in legacy. (In pcbnew we can choose either) Your branch seems to be much slower than 4.0.5, when zooming i and out and having the dcodes enabled. 2017-03-04 20:35 GMT+01:00 Jon Evans

[Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

Hi all, My implementation of GAL into GerbView is far enough along that I would like people who use GerbView a lot (and have some time) to try building it and running it. http://i.imgur.com/W6afbRu.jpg You can get the code here: https://github.com/craftyjon/kicad.git branch: gerbview_gal The

[Kicad-developers] Update on component chooser

Hi, Just thought I'd provide a quick update on what's going on with the component chooser. Things have been pretty delayed - I've had more issues than expected, and I'm trying to work around my school schedule too - but I'm still moving along (and I have almost a full week off now, most of which
