Hi Miguel, I thought I'd add my thoughts here instead of changing what others have done. I see that someone doesn't like the Point( 10, 10, unit=MM ) paradime for creating a 2D vector. Personally, I prefer that construct compared to the proposed point_mm( 10, 10 ) by quite a long way. But, it's of course a pain to always use unit=MM. Generally we know the units we're going to work with when we start with pcbnew scripting so it would be good to be able to do something like pcbnew.default_units = MM somewhere near the start of the script and then all 2D vectors can be created without the unit=MM additional argument, such as: Point( 10, 10 ) instead. That would make a nicer interface in my opinion. I only had a chance to have a quick look at it. Thanks for getting something together for people to look at. Best Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
