Hello. I want to make a personal blog for documenting my experience on an electronics course. I plan to switch to KiCad, but I'm still trying to adapt and I still miss full Eagle interoperability. I want to embed my future KiCad designs on blog posts without the need to export images, preferably

Thanks Maurice, that link was helpful. I'm using v0.14 and the latest 0.16 to test these things. I'll keep playing with freecad, i think your script is already okay, the problem is me that I'm not a freecad power user. Best regards Marcos On Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 8:11 PM, easyw wrote: > Hi Mar

Hi Marcos, give a try to FC 0.15 ... it is the actual stable version and I use it without any issues... moreover I noticed that exporting STEP from FC 0.14 has been improved a lot in FC 0.15; furthermore if you export from Part menu or export from File menu you get different results... I use t

Cirilo, Since you proposal is refining an existing feature, go ahead and make the changes. We are still wrestling with some segfault bugs so until we get those resolved, I am fine with cleaning up existing features. Thanks, Wayne On 8/5/2015 4:22 AM, Cirilo Bernardo wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'

Gerber generation is the heart and soul of a board layout program. Get this wrong, and all of the fancy editing features are completely meaningless. I applaud JP for being very conservative about making changes to this code. The last thing we need is for users to end up with bad boards due to un

[Kicad-developers] BUG: Drawing bug in OpenGL and Cairo canvas for oval pads

Hi all, there is a drawing bug when using either the OpenGL or Cairo canvas. I tested today with revision 6059, on Linux with Nvidia graphics driver 346.59. It happens when adding a new track with routing mode "Highlight collisions". If the item the new track collides with is an oval pad with st

This patch changes the unit options in the VRML exporter from "Inch, mm, Meter" to "mm, 0.1 Inch, Inch"; the 0.1 inch option may allow an exported model to be used as an input to KiCad if the parser will support the included URNs in the future. The patch also fixes a bug in the IDF exporter where

This patch is to provide a general fix for bug #1468388. There is a patch attached to that bug, but Chris Pavline and I decided that it doesn't make as much sense as this patch. The other patch adds a center on zoom option to the library editor preferences. It would be bad UI to require someone to

2015-08-06 Thread Chris Pavlina
I meant that the GUI widgets are disabled. If they are not paired, then those layers should not flip when the footprint is flipped... as there is obviously nothing to flip. I really don't see the point in greying those out. All it does is make it harder for users who know what they are doing and
