[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Prevent cursor jumping in pcbnew

Hi all, I noticed an irritating behaviour in pcbnew with the OpenGL GAL. If a dialog is opened while routing a trace (e.g. by hotkey P or Q) and the mouse is moved either to operate the dialog or otherwise then the mouse (pointer) position will be different after closing the dialog. At the

[Kicad-developers] [RFC] More consistent dialog handling

Hi all, you may remember that I complained about the inconsistent behaviour of several dialogs some time ago. Below is what I have come up with to improve that. The main purpose is to improve consistency of dialogs, although it may occasionally simplify the code too. Basically it is a kind of

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add mils as user unit

Hi all, below is a patch to add "mils" as a user unit to pcbnew, the gerber viewer and the module editor. I left out eeschema because I do not think it's useful there, but if required adding it would be easy. I probably missed some places needing modification. In any case somebody with the

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Select via sizes from design rules

Hi all, below is a patch to allow selecting one of the vias defined in the design rules in the via properties dialog. It adds a choice control above the via diameter text control to do that. Have fun, MGri diff --git a/pcbnew/dialogs/dialog_track_via_properties.cpp

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Change track width setting to dropbox

Hi all, I think it would be nice if the track width setting in the track properties dialog used a combobox, so one could either enter a free value or select one of the values set up in the design rules. The appended patch implements this. Question1: I had to extend WX_UNIT_BINDER to also

[Kicad-developers] Simple build fix for OpenSuSE 42.2

Hi everybody, Currently KiCad doesn't build on OpenSuSE 42.2 because kicad-ogltest fails to compile. The reason seems to be that wxWidgets was built with wxDEBUG_LEVEL 0, and because of that the global variable wxTheAssertHandler doesn't exist. The fix is trivial, the function
