Again, this SCR is a script, not an eagle XML footprint per se. It only becomes a footprint in memory as the script is executed in Eagle, and then a true Eagle footprint when saved as XML. You would not want to stuff the script parsing code into EAGLE_PLUGIN::FootprintLoad() because it is reserved for a true eagle footprint, in XML. Another PLUGIN could be written, but why if its in python already? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
