Hi,

I upgraded the compatibility for FreeCAD IDF importer, so now I it ispossible to completely load and display kicad IDF export files (boardand parts with color)moreover I added the ability to load also .emp library files, lettingthe user to display also module/library IDF parts.

That could be a useful feature for the new 3D refactoring and the IDFexporter code... at least it will be possible to see and rework the IDFexported in an open source software


I added the code as a part of kicad StepUp project, so it is available at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/

attached the IDF pic_programmer kicad demo board imported in FreeCAD
the IDF pic_programmer module library imported in FreeCAD
and the IDF video kicad demo board imported in FreeCAD

PS @Cirilo

could you send me the cellphone.emn cellphone.emp file to test the newIDF importer?


thank you
Maurice
