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 mil (or equivalently, 0.1 inch). This will push the VRML exporter 1 step closer to being able to export a model which can be reused as a subassembly within KiCad. I don't know the current state of the VRML parser code - but if the parser currently resolves URNs then adding this 0.1 inch option will indeed produce models which can be fed back into KiCad. 2. IDF: My treatment of the 'offset' values in the IDF exporter is wrong; this is a bug although not a bug which is likely to be seen in action. I propose to fix this bug before the release. It might sound silly that I ask for an opinion before doing this task, but the reason I ask is that I really haven't got much free time at all so I wouldn't bother unless others believed that I should fix the bug immediately. - Cirilo
