Hi folks,
I'd like an opinion on some changes I'd like to make to the VRML
and IDF exporters before the stable release.
1. VRML: In Export VRML the choices of unit in the output file are
Inch, mm, and meter. In my opinion the 'meter' option is 100%
useless and I propose to change this to 100
Hi Saumell,
When you need to give your 3d artwork to MCAD people you have to use
step as interchange format.
Any other format would not be accepted.
Before the kicad stepup script the only way I know to export the pcb
with models was to export vrml and then convert it to step; but any
model
Hi Cirilo,
which is the offset problem in IDF exporter?
At the moment the only issue I've found in the IDF exported file is the
offset of the pcb when you rotate the board and components inside kicad
pcbnew before export the IDF file (but I think is a quite improbable
case)...
thank you
Pcbnew without scripting support crashes when run with an invalid file
given as a parameter (stack overflow in ~wxSingleInstanceChecker()).
There is a fix for that, but wrapped with #ifdef
KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON .. #endif. I removed the mentioned directives
and it seems fine here, but I am not
Hi Maurice,
The X,Y,Z offset associated with the individual IDF component models is
interpreted as whatever the currently selected pcbnew units are (mm, inch)
so the interpretation varies. I need to change the code so that the XYZ
offset is always interpreted as inches.
The board offset is a
@Marco
what could I do to prepare a small tutorial for the kicad stepup script?
do you accept libre-office file or pdf file?
I'm sorry but I'm new to the doc side :)
thank you

I think Marco is currently on vacation. The new documentation format is
asciidoc. You can use git to clone the current documentation at

Agreed 90%. I don't have so much of a problem with fixing the
dimensions as long as they're only fixed in the Gerber export, not in
the master - it's just part of exporting, you're rendering things with
the features available to you in the destination format. But that's a
minor point,

I do not understand why 6 significant digit will cause rounding error if Gerber
generation uses inches as unit.
you have a nanometer resolution which provides 6 decimals for millimeter units.
When you divide this number by 25.4 to convert to inches, you might loose a bit
of resolution, but you

Regardless of Dick's future plans wrt Python, I do not see why it would
be desirable to call OnPgmExit inside OnRun instead of inside OnExit. It
seems clear to me that this is the correct location for it. wx

earlier.

Hi Maurice, Cirilo and everyone,
Thanks for the advise.
I was able to run the demo with FreeCAD script, as was shown in youtube

What I have now is a complete 3D model of my own board I can view on PCBnew
3D viewer. That looks fine and uses WRL models for each individual
component (

Huh, strange. In that case I suppose you can commit this patch, there's
nothing wrong with the patch itself. I'll have to look further into why
the mnemonics aren't working properly on wxgtk...
They do in most other dialogs, so I imagine even if it is a wx bug,
there's likely a workaround.
