Re: [Kicad-developers] CERN Donation link?

2018-11-25 Thread hauptmech
Work packages going out to developers that would otherwise be working on something else during the work day are a good thing. That's good to hear. The V6 donations page https://givetokicad.web.cern.ch/ could use an update. It's hard to tell whether the money is earmarked for V6 but not spent,

I cannot speak for CERN but I believe donations actually have quite a bit of impact. There are currently several v6 work packages that have been drafted and developers have bid on the work. This means the developers will get paid to implement these features as part of the v6 development cycle

Just a reminder, we already have a properties token for key/value pairs. Key/value pairs are provided for use by third party tools and are not used internally. All internal functionality must be implement as valid file tokens. Also keep in mind that one of the goals of kicad file formats is to

Along these lines, we should probably figure out what attributes/properties KiCad should store as rigidly-defined fields/data members rather than a more flexible (key/value) system. >From what I can tell, some of the commercial EDA software I have used treats almost everything as an "attribute"

Hi Oliver, I think we need to fit this in with the existing PCBNew Attributes stuff (“attr” in the file format). We currently have through-hole, SMD and virtual (the later being similar to DNF/DNP), but a lot of folks have found that too limiting for various reasons. I suspect this means we

I've often seen "NC" used to mean "no connect" which usually is the "X" symbol you put on pins to prevent ERC warnings. DNP is also the one I've seen the most. I actually have heard from a (US-based) assembly vendor that DNP is the most common, DNI is next after that, and all other options are
