Hi, I'd like to mention my little 2d cad editor. It's called PD-piglet and it is a clone of HP's internal IC/PC design system circa 1982 or so. The entire source fits on a floppy disk. http://omnisterra.com/walker/linux/piglet/intro.htm It's just plain C/Xlib code that focuses on the si

It may make sense to take a peek how gEDA doest it. I'm not saying they are doing it perfectly, but their main idea is that everything is a reusable file and the design is scripted together. Like a C++ project with headers and make scripts... -Vesa _

Hi Wayne, sorry for reopening this thread, I think (may be I'm wrong) I wasn't here at the moment that thread happened, and I couldn't expose my opinion. I understand the copy&paste functionality from/to clipboard, although extremely useful and something that kicad will benefit from, yet does

Makes more sense, because, as it's independent, you can lately (if you add an improvement or fix), send a pull / merge request on this file to the original author. With copy&paste you cannot do that. 2013/2/21 Miguel Angel Ajo Pelayo > I think copy&paste is not a perfect scenario for reusabilit

I think copy&paste is not a perfect scenario for reusability, git/bzr/svn/etc cloning a module you already tested, that's in an independent schematic file/sheet makes a lot of sense for me. 2013/2/21 Wayne Stambaugh > On 2/21/2013 10:53 AM, Ryan Sturmer wrote: > > Long time listener, first t

Long time listener, first time writer. One sheet per file makes the most sense to me, as well. The way the project management is done right now is a little big awkward, IMO. KiCAD seems to want to generate project files and stuff when I don't want them. I am also an Altium Designer user, and I

Agree about that it's important to let the multi-sheets be split across many files. And I like the functionality you're proposing related to schematics + scripting. It's awesome and innovative in fact. Miguel Angel Ajo http://www.nbee.es +34911407752 skype: ajoajoajo On 21/02/2013, at 15:06, D

2013-02-20 Thread Felipe Jorge
I'm not totally agree with one schematic holds all sheets, because it will make more difficult modularize and reuse pieces of circuits across in different projects. On the other hand makes the project less messy. But someone can come up with a way that make both possible, like an sheet importer so
