[kicad-users] Adding graphics to Silkscreen

2010-04-06 Thread burnsrobbie
Hello fellow users.
I'm on my 3rd Kicad design now, for me it works well.

I have a question though, is it possible to add either vector or bitmap 
graphics to the silkscreen layer?

For example CE marking or ROHS logo?

I don't fancy creating these from circles and lines in the module editor.

Many thanks

Robbie Burns

Yes, someone wrote an AWK script to do this.   I couldn't find it with 
the Yahoo search engine but Google tracked it down.   I think the 
following post is the final version:

I've used it several times with success.   The one thing that was a bit 
of a pain was editing out the effect of anti-aliasing pixels, but it's 
not an insurmountable problem.

Regards,

Robert.
