I just committed your patch. Thanks for your contribution to Kicad. Now, if you want to improve Kicad scripting support (and I guess you do ;-), there's a bunch of tasks to do right away: - glue between wxPoint and VECTOR2I and swigging out SHAPE_POLY_SET, SEG and VECTOR2<> classes (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1728611). In the longer term, we plan to use VECTOR2Is in non-GUI related code, but until the legacy canvas is factored out we must live with both types mixed. - expose GAL SELECTION/SELECTION_TOOL through a simple python interface, e.g: pcbnew.SelectItems( [ item/list of items ] ) pcbnew.UnselectItems( [ item/list of items ] ) pcbnew.GetSelection() pcbnew.ClearSelection() - expose COMMIT/BOARD_COMMIT classes to enable undo & view updates (as requested by other Python devs on the Kicad Forum): # modification of a via diameter and adding a track. "via" comes from the existing BOARD object, track is a new item created by the script commit = pcbnew.COMMIT() # inform PCBnew that we're going to modify the via object commit.Modify(via) via.SetDiameter() track = TRACK() track.SetStart(...) track.SetEnd(...) # add a new item (track) to the commit commit.Add(track) # push the commit - this will update the board view, connectivity (ratsnest), commit changes to the BOARD object and create an entry in the undo buffer commit.Push("Change a via and add a new track") - add simple calls to enable/disable visible layers/items (https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1712233, https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg30372.html) Tom _______________________________________________ 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
