[kicad-users] 3D PCB displayed with Wings
PcbNew will show a 3d object of the whole PCB using Wings. Is there a way to save this 3d object (e.g. *.wings) to a file that can then be shared? I see how to place the 3D object on the clipboard, but when running wings, I don't seem to be able to import from the clipboard. thanks ...Jim H.

There is if you "print" instead of "plot." For both schematics and boards there is a "print frame ref" checkbox (that is on by default) in the print dialog. So, just un-check the box and do a "print to file" with a compatible HPGL printer and you should be good to go.
[kicad-users] Re: DRC Problem
Robert, Can you send me your board file, or a smaller sample that duplicates this problem please. I may have time to look at this within the next day or so. 1) I guess you expect that the DRC should tolerate a clearance of .3mm in your case for this pad to pad situation? 2) What [clearance] should be allowed if they are in the same net (the through hole pad and the smt pad)?

[kicad-users] PcbNew background color
I have just completed my first KiCAD Schematic with about 200 parts and an Atmel mega processor with USB. I can't say enough good about the schematic tool. Now, I am starting on PcbNew. What a blast! I just went for the 3D view on a lark. WOW! just works. Fun stuff. Is there a way to change PcbNew's background color to white (or something other than black)? ...Jim H.
