[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Kill unused NETLIST_EXPORTER_GENERIC::writeListOfNets

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

I'm 300% in favor of this proposal, an it makes sense to store the dimensions in the key_value pairs. From a user's perspective, they can grab a premade symbol with default values populated in those fields, place in the schematic and edit if necessary. for selecting the "autogenerated flag" what

I had originally thought that was the idea with the 4.x series, but I might be wrong. On Wed, May 04, 2016 at 11:10:46AM -0600, Duane Johnson wrote: > Might it be worth making a specific (intermediate) release whose purpose is > to make it the last support for "legacy" canvas? > > On Wed, May 4,

Might it be worth making a specific (intermediate) release whose purpose is to make it the last support for "legacy" canvas? On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 9:19 AM, Chris Pavlina wrote: > While I understand your point, and I think I agree with it (though I'm > almost > on the

Re: [Kicad-developers] Round Rectangle corner radius control suggestion

An alternative interface could be to optionally accept % as a unit in fields for values with a clear relationship to another value, as the fields already do accept units like in and mm. I kind of like the idea, but I wonder how intuitive that would be - it works fine if you know it's there, but

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

While I understand your point, and I think I agree with it (though I'm almost on the fence), I wonder if I should explain - I think the argument for removing legacy sooner rather than later is that by removing the crutch of "eh, we can just use legacy for that for now", we will encourage

Re: [Kicad-developers] Preferences rework - pcbnew

Removing the legacy canvas cannot be done until there is an acceptable solution for users who do not have usable opengl on their systems. The Cairo canvas is not usable even on the fastest system I've have access to. Until either Cairo gets a significant speed boost, opengl becomes usable on all

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

The use of fields for arbitrary data is indeed powerful. It should also be limited to passing information to external tools such as simulators and scripts such as Tom's proposal. Anything that is supported as a feature in KiCad should be part of the schematic file format and fully supported by

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

How are you saving this auto generate flag and width/length parameters in the schematic? If you are using component fields or text that's fine. However, please keep in mind that using component fields and text is for passing information to third party tools that are not part of kicad. If we are

Hello: In the Pad Properties window, Round Rectangle properties, there is the "Corner size" option. It shows the calculated "Corner radius" as information. Using IPC rules as guidelines, the maximum corner radius must be 25% of the pad width, with a maximum of 0.25 mm. If the pad is big

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

Apparently wxLogInfo() has changed its behavior and instead of writing to console, now it shows a window. I have just removed the related code, because if the required version is not supported, the user will get an appropriate error message anyway (revision 6771). Regards, Orson On 05/03/2016

Re: [Kicad-developers] mode openGL issues after latest updates

Hi Orson, I understand, but my question was, since that check is inside the "BeginUpdate" I am supposing that you will do in any case every time that redraw update: i.e in this case you will call GL functions and in the worst case when the windows is not displayed and you have no context. For

Re: [Kicad-developers] mode openGL issues after latest updates

Hi Mario, wxWidgets will trigger an assert in Linux if you try to set OpenGL context when the parent window is not yet visible. It may happen only when a window is created upon pcbnew launch, but anyway it is enough to require such condition there. It is also necessary to set the right context if
