Thanks Jean-Pierre, The newer code is based mostly on the old code. When I was working on the idf2vrml tool I decided to clean up the code and try to fix a few bugs; my plan was to replace the old code when I have finished the idf tool and made improvements to the code. I'll continue to work on removing the remaining artifacts so we have prettier results. - Cirilo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
