Hi Steve and all, So if I understand this correctly, you are asking for someone to write an exporter for pcb which outputs a file with XY-values of pads(pins) with an ID-reference to be able to check for copper conductivity etc. and maybe even frequency related impedance/capacitance (nelma ?).
Something like (a csv file): <example> #Id X Y top/bottom C1-1,100.50,50.20,top C1-2,100.50,50.25,top </example> or <example> #refdes pad X Y top/bottom C1,1,100.50,50.20,top C1,2,100.50,50.25,top </example> Or does a defacto standard format already exist ? Together with a netlist of connecting traces this would give enough information for testing conductity in an automated fashion. I think the BOM/XY exporter would be a good candidate to be extended for this functionality, as it already calculates all the XY values of pins/pads in some fashion. Hmm, I should probably X-post this one to geda-dev. Just my EUR 0.02 Kind regards, bert Timmerman.
