Re: Assembly Variant Management Feature

 


Actually, developing it as a plug-in looks like a better idea, since the KiCad codebase is really huge and not easy to get in the first sight. I'm not sure about the plugin manager, though. I guess my experience with KiCad won't be enough for that :)

Hi,

I'm new to KiCad development and have some ideas to include into the
package.
The most important one is "Assembly Variant Management", which is missing,
AFAIK. Am I right?

Is there anybody working on this subject? I've not seen any entry in the
mailing
list archive.
KiCAD, as Open Source project, usually has traditional property - if you
need
some feature, make it by you own… ;)
However now it's pretty easy - pcbnew has python interface. I think that
growing
KiCAD sources is not so good idea. Plugins should goes to any other
repository
in example on Github. Independently any user can publish self-made script on
similar site. KiCAD can bring only one thing - site with links of tested and
found usable python co-applications, maybe sub-domain:
http://pyapps.kicad-pcb.org/ ?
A plugin manger as we see in many other apps would be a nice feature to this.
