Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] kicad: tree_project_frame: fixup drawframe style

Hello mergers! I don't see my patch in master. It was neither merged nor commented. How long are devs expect to wait until it's okay to bump it? How can we make sure that no patches get lost on the way... especially when they are so subtle. Regards, Clemens On 2017-02-08 22:13, Clemens Koller

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] BOM Editor

Hello, Martin! Your work looks very promising. I am running very similar stuff "manually" (by executing .sql scripts) around my commercial tool. Is there an ODBC in between your frontend code and the Firebird database you use? I am asking because the data here sits in a MariaDB storage.

Hi, just for fun/information from the (german) news: http://www.elektroniknet.de/markt-technik/halbleiter/details-zu-power9-138554.html The Power9 Processor Family has internally 2359 Signals, 7370 Power (10 different voltages) and 9909 Ground-Pins. This is of course (not yet) on board level,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Differential pair DRC Errors

Hello! If the global minimum mandatory clearance/spacing (pitch) of a design (due to manufacturing limitations) is set (& activated) it should complain when some other settings are violating that. It could be assisting if the user gets a clear warning when the differential pair dimensions

Re: [Kicad-developers] .SWEET file suggestion

Hi! Just some cents from my side - hopefully not OT: - Add some draw scaling factor (i.e. 0.1 .. 10) to the schematic pages. It happens to me regularly that I am drawing on A3 size paper to get more schematic real-estate and then print it to A4. My tool is missing scaling... and I am not

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH]: Calculator: Simplify color code tolerance chooser + typo

Hi! Agree... It makes sense to reduce the options to 3-band and 4-band resistors... as the tolerance information is then implicit/redundant/irrelevant. It might be even sufficient to simply mark the 4th band as "optional". :-) This dialog could be much more nice/useful if we could simply

Hello, Michael! Is there a git branch which can be pulled to test your patches? By a quick look, I was wondering if you intentionally kept backup copies (or temporary files) of some files or if that's was a mistake? See: 1-move-pns-into-namespace-pns.patch, line 1451ff -8<- diff --git
