> Ladies and gentlemen,
>
> We have just reached the next step of our development plan. We would like
> to offer you a refurbished module editor, extended with the GAL and the
> Tool Framework. Besides the new graphic engine, you will find there:
> - layer widget - to select the drawing layer before you start creating
> graphics (including Edge.Cuts layer)
> - drawing tools - already known from the layout editor (draggable items,
> point editor, line splitting, etc.)
> - copy and paste using reference points - feel the power of instant
> replication
> - align/distribute - to save you some time on precise mouse movements
> - pad enumeration tool - that is the missing piece in the lightning fast
> footprint creation process
> - DXF import - we do not blame you if you prefer other graphic utils (it
> is possible mostly due to efforts of Jean-Pierre Charras, the main author
> of DXF import code)
>
> We invite you to watch a short video, in which you may see the new
> features in action. To give you an example, there is a part on how to draw
> a QFN64 footprint in less than 2 minutes:
> https://vimeo.com/99235812
>
> The code is available for testing in the repository:
> https://code.launchpad.net/~cern-kicad/kicad/module_editor
> After a period of testing, it will be merged to the product branch. You
> may help shortening the time by letting us know if everything works as
> expected.
>
> I feel obliged to say thank you to the KiCad community that gave us a few
> thoughts regarding improvements. We should ask you more often, you have
> great ideas.

> Regards,
> Orson
