Re: [PATCH] Fix for 3D model offset

 

This option is in fact a smooth transition for footprints...
but it will break the readability of new boards by previous release of kicad... no way back to previous releases, even to be just read...
Which is better then?
Library stuff are quite delicate to be touched IMO...

Wayne I still have an issue with silently breaking files. Using an "offset" parameter (but reading "at" for compatibility) does not break anyone's models and there is absolutely no confusion about which is mm and which is inches. Incidentally I think "offset" is a better name, it implies relative position rather than absolute (but that's neither here nor there).

    It will break most of my boards. I won't complain because I
    appreciate the effort and I welcome *every* improvement, but be
    prepared for some very rough comments out there.
