A script to check for annular ring violations
for PTH, NPTH pads and vias
A script to export technical layers of kicad PCB to DXF
DXF generated file has single line draw as it should be for mechanical interchange (this option is missing in pcbnew plot)
A script to Move Selected Drawing(s) to chosen new Layer (available only in GAL)
A script to Generate Position Files for SMD, THD, Virtual, ALL
A script to check for annular ring violations
for PTH, NPTH pads and vias
requirements: KiCAD pcbnew > 4.0 built with KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU option activated
release "1.5.3"
'action_menu_annular_check.py' checking PCB for Annular Ring in PTH, NPTH and Vias
(SMD, Connector and NPTH are skipped)
default Annular Ring >= 0.15 both for TH Pads and Vias
to change values modify:
AR_SET = 0.150 #minimum annular accepted for pads
AR_SET_V = 0.150 #minimum annular accepted for vias
DRL_EXTRA = 0.100 #extra drill margin size for production
Launch the Annular Check script in pcbnew from Tools menu:
- add colors to output list
kicadpcb2dxf
dxf exporter for mechanical layers of a kicad_pcb board
- "Dwgs", "Cmts", "Edge", "Eco1", "Eco2", "F.Fab", "B.Fab", "F.CrtYd", "B.CrtYd"
- the dxf generated has single line draw as it should be for mechanical interchange (this option is missing in pcbnew plot)
creates DXF file of technical layers of the selected kicad pcb board
