Try using gaseous minutes instead of solid. They expand to fill their container, so you really only need the one. On Wed, Jul 06, 2016 at 05:38:41PM +, Jon Neal wrote: > It took me a solid 15 minutes of searching to find the roadmap, so > hopefully I'll do someone a favor and provide a link he

Hi Wayne, Thanks for the heads up on where to find the roadmap; I'll have a good look through it. Getting an MCAD plugin before FOSDEM would be challenging. I could shoehorn yet another exporter in a matter of days but a working plugin system would require some thought on how to expose some of

Maybe a better idea would be mention StepUp in the Pcbnew documentation and just provide a link to your documentation. This way you don't need to maintain your documentation in two places. perfect ... I'm going to create a pull request Thanks Maurice On 7/5/2016 2:17 PM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote:

Hi Wayne, I think it would be nice to have also a note on KiCad user manual about the external kicad StepUp exporter. Please consider that to use this exporter, the users would need just a stable version of FreCAD (>=0.15) and a single python file ... Everything is based on an assembler macro

Funny you should ask Cirilo since your name came up about the 3D model plugins. The current road map version 5 is published as part of the developer documentation which is available on the KiCad website. In the road map there is mention of support for exporting to STEP and/or IGES. Any chance tha

Is there a pre-commit version somewhere where we can see what's on the roadmap? I want to work on a PCB API so that pcbnew importers/exporters can be turned into plugins and I can add an MCAD exporter, but given my free time and the size of the job I wouldn't expect it to be ready for FOSDEM 2017.

I spent much of yesterday discussing and finalizing the stable version 5 road map with everyone here at CERN. I will be committing the revised road map soon. Before I do, I want to make sure no one is working on anything outside the road map that I do not know about. If you are working on new fe
