[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Move ZOOM_TOOL to common; add RMB-drag to zoom out

Hi all, The attached patch refactors ZOOM_TOOL to common so that it can be used in GerbView, and adds a new behavior where you can use the right mouse button to zoom out when the zoom to selection tool is active. I find this behavior useful when using a 2-button mouse. Best, Jon From

[Kicad-developers] GAL grid style setting inconsistency

Hi all, I was looking into why my Gerbview GAL branch was defaulting to line grid when I thought it should be dots grid, and I found an inconsistency in the GAL display options code. In gal_display_options.cpp, the grid options map (gridStyleConfigValues) go in this order: DOTS, LINES,

[Kicad-developers] application for svg to png

currently cmake is setup to use inkscape and only inkscape for doing the svg to png conversion, on osx at least this is broken (only visibly broken when you enable MAINTAIN_PNGS), its also really slow loading inkscape on osx, I was doing some testing and found that rsvg could easily create

Re: [Kicad-developers] New feature: support for Gerber job file.

Hi JP, This is a nice feature and it seems to work well! I did have to make one change in gerber_jobfile_writer.cpp:154 to get it to compile on MacOS / LLVM: adding c_str() fputs( header[ii].c_str(), jobFile ); Best, Jon On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 11:26 AM, jp charras

I prefer "Worksheet Editor" but either one works for me. If no one else objects, I would go with that. On 8/29/2017 3:53 PM, Michael Kavanagh wrote: > Cheers! Sorry about the policy violations, I'll be more careful next time. > Which of "Worksheet Editor"/"Worksheet Layout Editor" would be the >

Re: [Kicad-developers] New feature: support for Gerber job file.

For simple jobs I tell the manufacturer layer count and pcb thickness, both parameters are available in design rules->layers setup Silkscreen and soldermask colors are somehow stored for 3Dviewer, maybe they are not stored in a usable way. Cheers Marcos On Wed, Aug 30, 2017 at 8:16 AM, jp

[Kicad-developers] New feature: support for Gerber job file.

Hi all, I just committed a basic support for Gerber job file. The purpose of a Gerber job file is to handle info needed for board manufacturing. Because (unfortunately) Pcbnew has not actual support of the board layers stack, info about layer stack, dielectric and copper thickness, silkscreen
