Re: [Kicad-developers] Improving Eagle Import netlist matching

Yes there should be a way to match them up. The logic for it is as follows, for the complex case: An eagle project with 2 nets (A and B) that are used for zones and stitching vias and each appears only on separate sheets, Y and Z respectively. During the import two subsheets are created. After

I'm not too sure about our global label solution. The results are rather heinous. Take a look at the Ardunino ATMega 2560 board[1] that I demoed at FOSDEM imported using the new label semantics. I don't think users are going to be OK with this. Is there no way we can use normal labels properly

[Kicad-developers] wxPython/wxWidgets compatibility check

2018-02-17 Thread Maciej Suminski
In order to prevent faulty builds in case of wxPython/wxWidgets toolkit mismatch [1,2] (gtk2 vs gtk3), I added a check in CMakeLists. I verified it with Windows 7 and Linux, but I would love to hear from OSX users that I do not break their build. Cheers, Orson 1. https://forum.kicad.info/t/9493 2

It should be. We really need to get out of the bad habit of having toolbar only access to tools and settings. I'm sure there are some in the schematic editor, symbol editor, and footprint editor as well. On 02/17/2018 06:16 AM, Jeff Young wrote: > The Fill/Outline stuff is included. Not sure ab

I'll work on it further and hopefully it can be included in maybe a point release or v6. My main concern is that zones and stitching vias aren't left on orphaned nets after the netlist is first synced with the schematic during import, which the global labels solve. On 17 Feb 2018 21:54, "Maciej

Hi Russell, No worries, the change was easy. I was mostly interested in your view about the change, and you confirm the main concern is the appearance of imported schematics. I am not sure if netlist updater is able to link a symbol and its corresponding footprint when sheetpath is not complete,
