Submit a patch or a merge request with your changes. I expect the current behavior to be the default and the line output to be the option. If you haven't done so, please look at the KiCad coding policy before submitting your changes. Also, consider your changes carefully. Rather than attempting to mash together the old DXF line plotting code with the current DXF plotting code, consider creating a separate DXF_LINE_PLOTTER object instead. I don't want a bunch of conditional code in the current DXF_PLOTTER code. You may have to factor out some of the common DXF plot code and create a DXF_PLOTTER_BASE class that you can use to derive DXF_PLOTTER and your new DXF_LINE_PLOTTER class. > > Cheers, > > Johannes > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
