Reece, I wouldn't introduce any changes to the current DRC code, we're designing a new DRC engine for KiCad V6 and many things in DRC interface will likely change. IMHO the DRC coordinate transform belongs to the UI, not the DRC itself: - the DRC engine generates an internal report with coordinates in board coordinate space - whatever displays the report to the user (i.e. the DRC dialog) converts the board coordinates to UI coordinates. - my 5 cents Tom _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
