Re: [Kicad-developers] Feature request: Gerbview - Print - Pagination option
Hi Clifford, Welcome to the list! That sounds like a good suggestion, but we keep track of feature requests in the issue database on GitLab https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad. Are you able to make a new issue describing the feature you want added (the direct link to make a new issue is https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/new?issue?

[Kicad-developers] Feature request: Gerbview - Print - Pagination option
Hi devs, New mailing-list member here. When I print multiple layers from Gerbview, the layers appear one per page. Would like a radio button for pagination, to choose all layers on one page or one layer on each page. Pcbnew has this but not Gerbview. In my engineering workflow I print out a paper PCB "model" showing (only) the edges, drills, and silkscreen. With office tools I cut the edges and accurately punch out the drill holes for all mounting hardware, then I "install" the piece of paper in the mounting to show board shape and silkscreen in the actual housing and mounting. This is also a test of gerber integrity since the "model" is produced from preliminary gerbers. In my current workflow I have to print from Gerbview (to PDF) then postprocess the PDF to flatten it to one page. Note, I think pcbnew can print "real" drill if you include a copper layer but my "model" must not show any copper or soldermask. Silkscreen only. Also, a print from pcbnew is useless for gerber integrity. Whence, I am inquiring about the pagination feature for Gerbview, to be sure verification of gerber is included in the workflow. Clifford Simon I'm using (5.1.9)-1. I just saw the 5.1.10 release but I haven't downloaded it yet. ___ 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
