Re: [Kicad-developers] file format change and STEP exporter

Thanks - some small change will be needed to kicad2step to handle the change in the file format from inch to mm for the model offsets. For the wrl/step substitution there is no other work needed. The reason the STEP exporter is separate from kicad is that not all people need the mechanical

Re: [Kicad-developers] file format change and STEP exporter

Indeed, it is much easier to just re-parse pcb files than it is to extract data using the internal APIs. The intention is for that to be temporary until the internal api improves to the point where writing something interfacing with it wont be a pile of workarounds for quirks and sharp corners. If

[Kicad-developers] file format change and STEP exporter

Hi folks, I haven't had time to follow changes for quite some time but there was some talk about making changes to the PCB file format. If the file format changes, some changes will also have to be made to the STEP exporter (utils/kicad2step) to handle the new format. Unfortunately I can't
