Hey all,
I have a pcb branch available here for testing:
git clone git://wpsoftware.net/pcb-andrew.git
git checkout coord6
which uses the new unit-handling code, including a metric base
unit. There are probably huge glaring bugs in this. Please let
me know if you see them.
(Note that you need to checkout branch coord6. There is also
a coord5 branch -- this is NOT the same coord5 that existed
the last time I posted the link. Please re-clone. Trying to
do a pull will likely result in grief.)
New features not in mainline pcb (yet):
1. Nanometer precision. No more rounding errors. Probably there
will be overflow errors though. I'm working on it.
2. You can tack a unit suffix onto pretty much anything that
makes sense, including command-line options, .pcb contents
and dialog box inputs.
3. Coordinate inputs now have a customize spinbox that handles
units. You can type in different units than the default and
they will roll with it. You can also convert to different
units by right-clicking and choosing "Change Units" submenu.
4. All these can be used as display units. The mm/mil button
will only give you mm and mil, but to access the others
just type
:SetUnits(in)
for example.
5. Grid setting is saved in the .pcb via the PCB::grid::unit
attribute.
6. All units are available in BOM and gcode exporters.
7. Numerous code cleanups.
Please test this and let me know what needs to be done. Thanks!
