Hey all, I've been using Kicad for several years now and I've finally
gotten around to pulling the source and building it myself. The latest
developments look really exciting. Anyway, I think I've found a few bugs in
the IDF export code. I currently have version 2014-12-16 BZR 5324. When
storing IDF files for components in a path specified by the KISYS3DMOD
environment variable, the exporter can't find the idf files. Changing '
GetShape3DName' to 'GetShape3DFullFilename' in line 370 of 'export_idf.cpp'
function 'idf_export_module' seems to fix this. I also noticed that the
parser function seems to be stripping off the '.' in '.END_ELECTRICAL' at
the end of a component idf file. adding a space before '.END_ELECTRICAL'
fixes this but I haven't dug deep enough into the code to find out why this
happens in the first place.
