MSEkicadBOM is a tool in order to combine KiCad with a component database and to automate document and production file generation. MSEkicadBOM scans the KiCad schematic files and matches the found components with the Firebird component database and looks up the associated footprint in the database, see http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/msekicadbom.png http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/kicad_component.png 'Reporting'-'Component-Footprintlist' creates a *.cmp list which can be imported into schematic. Document and production file generation uses infos defined in setup dialogs which can use macros, the data is stored in project files and project templates. See for example http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/kicad_globalsettings.png http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/kicad_globalsettings1.png http://mseide-msegui.sourceforge.net/pics/kicad_projectsettings.png All is under construction! > FILE is a basic C struct. > These methods are helper methods to create files, but are called by a > higher lever method. > That means that not all functions in pcbnew.py can be used because of missing proxy classes? > If you are trying to create a EXCELLON drill file (exactly a set of files), > have a look into the demo: gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py Maybe it is possible to abuse the higher level functions in order to produce the needed low level results, I prefer to use low level functions directly. At the end it means less hassle.
