Hi Mark It is not a kicad feature, in fact it doesn't even run inside kicad. It's better off on the FreeCAD's website as a feature than KiCad because its entirely a freecad plugin. at the moment the script cannot be easily invoked from inside pcbnew because of some missing python API

Hi, I've ran into an issue whenever I had to use the StepUp tools on Freecad to open a footprint and do the alignment of 3D model. I would get an open file dialog but nothing would happen after selecting the .kicad_mod file. Inside kicad-StepUp-tools.FCMacro: The name[0] variable would return

This should depend on your platforms gcc default setting or spec file if you use one. I'm not sure how this done with clang. On Debain testing, -O2 is the default build optimization setting and -O3 on msys2/mingw32 and msys2/mingw64. On 12/14/2015 10:32 AM, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > I also

My 2 cents: In my experience, I sometimes use the optimizations levels as a "verification tool". Ex: If I run it in debug (or without optimization) and it works and then I switch to optimizations and it doesn't produce the same results, then, there is a bug somewhere (as it was in boost) I

Ok, looking further, I think it is just an oversight, GLM_INCLUDE_DIR is missing in 3d-viewer/CMakeLists.txt. Adding it as per the attached patch fixes the error for me. The problem will only be seen when GLM is in a different location from other libraries already included in CMakeLists.txt.
