Is it possible to keep the 3d models ZIPed or RARed on disk and KiCAD unpacks them on the fly as needed/used during the session/etc? I am seeing 10x reduction in size when I pack the files whether they are 7.5MB or 120KB, both were reduced to 750KB and 10KB respectively. That's a lot of space

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

What's the rationale to limiting this to copper layers only? Why not have it available for all layers? It's probably unlikely but if a silkscreen pour is made and a keep out is required, as I understand it, it would make sense not to limit features necessarily to select layers. -- Andrey

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add background color for subsheets

I hope there's an option to remove color as well, after color has been added. I can't remember, is text color modifiable? If not, that kind of limits the background color choices. On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 7:22 AM Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > Oliver, > > I just tested this

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Libraries (again)

If possible, would be good to have a single full KLC page with all the rules combined in addition to the individual chapter pages, hopefully using the same KLC source without having to maintain 2 version. This is useful when you want to use the browser find functionality instead of clicking on

[Kicad-developers] Drag Tracks Broken?

I can't seem to drag tracks in cairo or openGL in latest nightly pcbnew, dragging only works in legacy. Using Windows. Can someone check please? -- Remember The Past, Live The Present, Change The Future Those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future [JFK]

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add support for panning with left and right mouse buttons

Thanks Jon, also useful with mice that have shitty middle mouse buttons that are either hard to press or spin freely willy, or both, that makes it hard to press the button without zooming in all over the place. On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 6:31 PM, Jon Evans wrote: > Hi all, > >

[Kicad-developers] KiCAD with MacOS Barely Usable

Hi, Previously used KiCAD on Windows, everything worked well, even the nightlies. Just started using KiCAD on MAC OSX 10.12.6 on macbook pro 2016 with 5K display, tried it without external display, no change, tried with low resolution mode for the program, no change, tried reducing screen

Re: [Kicad-developers] Move point on pcbnew

I was about to explode, but then noticed that if I select the whole footprint then the MOVE (press M) snaps to the closest point, either center of footprint or center of pad. However, if I selected a pad without selecting the footprint and then pressed M, then it would snap to the center of the

Re: [Kicad-developers] Component table improvements

Agree, a csv file option should be available. Would be nice if there were 2 flavors, grouped and ungrouped. That's all a general user might want. Asking a general user to deal with python is unreasonable, and it took me a while to figure out how the current plug in system works and even longer

Re: [Kicad-developers] [FEATURE] Partial selection in pcbnew

Actually I'd prefer there to be only 1 selector tool, every program that I've used that made the distinction of 2 mouse pointers with slightly different functionality of selection has made it HELL to use. The act of switching between the two cursors is a PITA, whereas a silent selector switch
