Thanks Dick, The link you provided looks in the right direction... but I am still confused:
Is the script shown '*Example that loads a board, hides all values, shows all references' *run from independent of a running instance of kicad, or does the script require 'kicad with scripting support' (which I understand needs to be compiled from source and sounds too scary for me)?... where is the python module 'pcb new': the scripts refer to a python file pcbnew ( from pcbnew import *)? I cannot find it from browsing the source. Thanks again and sorry for the frustrating/noob questions Senthil On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 12:40 PM, Dick Hollenbeck <[email protected]> wrote: > www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+Scripting+Reference+Manual > On Mar 28, 2013 2:04 PM, "Senthil Seveelavanan" <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> ...
