[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Improve matchDpSuffix() to match a wider range of differential pair names.

Includes matching bus line nets with one or two terminating digits as suggested by Tomasz. In addition to the original +/- and _P/_N suffix, we now match: Match .*[PN] ex: ANYNETP <-> ANYNETN Match .*[PN]\d ex: ANYNET_P7 <-> ANYNET_N7 Match .*[PN]\d\d ex: SNETP99 <-> SNETN99 ---

In my opinion - yes. This is the simplest way to make them editable, and for now I do not think we need to invent a completely new approach, at least until we kick out the legacy canvas. Regards, Orson On 06/29/2017 03:18 AM, Jon Evans wrote: > In fact, this isn't the only GAL hotkey that is

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] 3D models repository

Part of my argument is that for footprints and symbols there isn't much to improve, they are either correct or they aren't, once a footprint is done it probably should not be ever modified individually, most changes you usually want to do to a library are sweeping and probably even automated,

Hi Just start implementing my tools to new connectivity algorithm, and noticed that via stitchin chain needs to as many copper pour fills as there are chain links. Videos show what I mean. regards Heikki new: https://youtu.be/ZV4AMstIdQY old: https://youtu.be/QGr2p6M6Su0 On Tue, Apr 25, 2017

Please disregard my previous statements about the kicad copyright assignment. The kicad developers copyright is not an assignment to the kicad project. It is a place holder for changes to the original file by other developers rather than having each individual contributor adding their own
