[Kicad-developers] PATCH: Underlays

2014-11-11 Thread Cirilo Bernardo
I have updated the patch for the reverse-engineering tool. The previous patch used additional layers named Underlay1 and Underlay2. This patch makes use of the Eco1 and Eco2 layers. As a consequence, only code for the bitmap2component tool is touched; the common, include, and pcbnew directories are

Is there any predefined use of the ECO layers? It says "user defined" or something like that IIRC (I don't have access to KiCad right now). If there is no such predefined use, I'd go for that instead of the adhesive layer which does have one. On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Cirilo Bernardo wrote

The reason other layers were used is that there are spare layers and people use the drawing layer for their own purposes; if a user makes use of the Drawing layer and this Underlay tool then the tool will interfere with their normal use. - Cirilo On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 12:23 PM, Carl Poirier wro

Cirilo, I tried your patch. I don't see any problems with it, but I just began wondering why not use a user layer for that purpose, for example the drawings layer, instead of adding another one to the list. Allowing the bitmap2component tool to export to another layer than silk might be nice for

You know it would be useful for many designs in which the layout is crucial. As a hobbyist, I've never done RF, but I messed up a few high-frequency switching regulators by not quite following the template shown in the datasheet. I give a thumbs up to this patch by Cirilo and will try it shortly.

Hi Cirilo That was indeed my problem. I had downloaed the patch earlier, and did not notice the ther files. I applied and built successfullt after I followed the instrucitons in the README. I don't have much to comment on it, I think one needs to try it out on a real design to tell if it is any g

I have put a patch on github to introduce 2 Underlay layers to help with reconstructing PCB artwork from images of existing PCBs. This can be useful for people involved in legacy product support or for people who want to create Gerber files from published artwork in magazines. The patch modifies t
