[Kicad-developers] [Patch] Update PCB from Schematic hotkey in pcbnew and bug in schematic filename

Hi all, here are two patches to address some minor issues with the "Update PCB from Schematic” tool when called from pcbnew. The first adds the F8 hotkey to match eeschema. The second fixes a bug that happens if the project name contains a period (e.g.: MyProject_rev1.2). In this case, the

Re: [Kicad-developers] [Patch] pcbnew clipboard support

Hi tom! I took a look at your branch and your changes are a lot more smooth than mine, I went back to your implementation and added the net propagation stuff, they did indeed crash kicad when copying between different PCBs. How should I submit this patch to you? Also, I think that we should

Thanks Orson. The attached patch changes the d-code LOD threshold to a more reasonable value. -Jon On Mon, Sep 25, 2017 at 8:31 AM, Maciej Sumiński wrote: > Jon, > > Thank you very much for your work on GerbView GAL support. I have just > pushed your changes to the

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Multilayer keepout zones

Wayne, I was initially thinking that multilayer only made sense for keepouts and that check was simply a guard. Now I think it is a good idea for copper too. I can remove that check in the file parser. Oliver On 26 Sep 2017 05:32, "Wayne Stambaugh" wrote: Oliver, I

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Multilayer keepout zones

Oliver, I have a minor issue with your patch set. What is your rationale for assuming if a zone is on more than one layer that it is a keepout zone? I'm not sure that this would always be valid. There is already a "keepout" keyword in the list of board file keywords for just such an occasion.

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Multilayer keepout zones

Jon, I was considering the implication of copper pours being multilayer. I like the idea, and my current implementation allows that as a future step.. In a copper pour the filled region is defined as a set of points. I assume that such an idea would require that each layer gets its own set of

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Multilayer keepout zones

Nice job Oliver. This is a great feature and your plan to add keepout support to footprints is also a good thing. I tried it out on my MacOS machine and found an issue I think -- after deleting a keepout, I filled zones again and the fill is still avoiding the keepout shape after deletion -- not

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Multilayer keepout zones

Attached is a patchset that allows keepout zones to "exist" on multiple copper layers. This means you can specify a keepout zone for the entire copper stack (or parts thereof). Features: If a keepout zone is specified as multiple layers, the .kicad_mod file output is adjusted slightly, it will

Unfortunately I cannot test this at work. But I took a look at the diff between what I had made in the and your additions. Are you no longer using the pi.Load() function to append the items from the clipboard? From where I am looking it looks this way. This is good. Same thing I did in my

Seppe, Unfortunately, we do not backport new features to the stable branch, as we do not have enough manpower to maintain it, especially now when the code is significantly diverged. The stable branch only receives bug fixes, whereas the product branch is reserved for development. Regards, Orson

Hi Russell, Would you provide a board example that would be affected by the change? It would be very helpful to test the patch. I am not really sure whether EDGE_MODULEs drawn on copper layers will be exported to Gerbers and I am certain that they will not be taken into account during DRC or

Seppe, Thank you for your contribution. As the context menu problem is not related to your changes, I decided to commit the patches. I observe the issue with right-click context menu on Arch Linux x86_64 with both Xfce and awm. I cannot tell whether the problem occurs in the stable version, as I
