i think that possibly the advantage of doing the other formats, especialy if its simple, is it opens up things like using openscad and blender to build 3d components, assimp defines a standard internal 3dmesh + metadata dictionary and then imports/exports all formats too and from that. On Sun,

Thanks Seth, It looks like you've got it under control. I just wanted to make sure that the possibility of other software crashing kicad wasn't overlooked. Cirilo On Sun, Dec 1, 2019 at 9:54 AM Seth Hillbrand wrote: > > Hi Cirilo- > > Integration here means using the internal parsers and

Have a look at "assimp", http://www.assimp.org/ it does STEP too, and a whole bunch of 3d model formats both in and out, so it be used to extend the range of formats that 3d models can be accepted in or exported. On Sun, Dec 1, 2019, 8:33 AM Seth Hillbrand, wrote: > Hi Cirilo- > >

Hi Cirilo-Integration here means using the internal parsers and routines.  I envision writing this as a routine that accepts input over KiMail and takes parameters as RPC as well as error handling in KiCad.  I'm thinking of doing the same with ngspice integration for the same reasons you cite

Hi Eeli, first of all sorry for problems with compilation. I see, now it's happen when I wiped out the CMAKE build tree. I believe that's nothing to deal with my patch, but I still feel sorry for that. That's why I'm asking you in mailing list: I'm not sure what way to prefer. If anybody will

I noticed one problem. It's possible to add a footprint to PCB without schematic. Some people might want to do that (e.g. mounting holes or fiducials), yet back-annotate. It's not possible now. Greying out unused options is a good idea, polite towards the user, better usability. Annotation is

2019-11-30 Thread Cirilo Bernardo
Hi All, I noticed that the v6 roadmap has an item to merge the kicad step export. Although this is not difficult to do, I don't think it's a good idea because OCE/OCC does crash occasionally for various reasons and I wouldn't want it to take down kicad when it does crash. As long as the

This is intentional. GitHub automatically appends the luanchpad url with is now a mirror of the GitLab repo. I may change the mirror url to GitLab when I get a chance but that will only decrease the refresh latency. On 11/30/19 3:24 PM, Diego Herranz wrote: > Just a quick comment. > > The
