Thanks all for the suggestions on this subject.
I managed to implement almost all the things I had in mind without using kiway.
>From the 3D-Viewer side, I got the board information with all the items state
>(eg using IsSelected as Fabien suggested)
but that only works one way Pcbnew -> Board ->
I'll second what Ian has said with one caveat. When we replace the Kiway
interface in v7, we'll be ripping out all previous interfaces, so I think
we should be fine even if there is a new probe from pcbnew->3d Viewer.
That said, we are about 1 month away from feature freeze, so any
implementation
The 3d viewer does have access to the kiway, but I really think we need to
think about how this is done before we just go adding a cross-probing
interface between pcbnew and the 3d viewer. As our kiway is written
currently, adding the cross-probing will basically be adding a brand-new
messaging pro
It's part of the kiway mail messaging system. Take a look at the
kiway*.{h/cpp} files. I'm not sure if the 3D viewer is derived from
KIWAY_PLAYER. If it is, this should be fairly straight forward assuming
you can figure out the component position from the model geometry and
translate that back t
Hi,
I'll try to answer what I can, hopefully others can complete if
something important is missing.
Here are two related issues :

These are some functions to cross probe,:

Hello all,
I'm evaluating how/ if it will be possible to implement some kind of cross
footprint selection between the 3D-Viewer and Pcbnew.
I know that it works with Schematic and Board so I believe there are already
some existent mechanisms.. but I don't know what exists in KiCad source-code
