Re: gEDA-user: Notes from this evening's Free Dog meeting



Hi folks,


I've been giving a look to Kicad, and have a few things to say about the
features that it has, and PCB/gaf does not.

- Kicad has the ability to calculate and clear dead polygons on the PCB
layout. PCB does not.
- Automatic refdes assignemnt. A few mounth ago I wrote some code to
implement it, and I'm using it. Unfortunatelly it's like the refdes-renum
script. It's an individual program, but using different renumber methode.

- It would be nice to have buttons, or menu item in gschem to start producing
pcb layout. (running gsch2pcb) This would help, and the user may feel
him/herself in an integrated environment. And, the command line tools would
remain the same; if someone wold like to do everything manualy, it could be
still possible.
- Also in PCB, it would be nice have one thing (button, menuitem, etc...) to
reload the whole layout, reload the netlist, put the xxxx.pcb.new into the
buffer.

Unfortunately, I don't have a good enough programming skill, so I can't
implement these things. These are just suggestions. Ignore it, if it's just
rubbish.
