[Pcb-bugs] [Bug 1665862] Re: [new feature] TinyCAD Import

[Peter C. <pet...@cl...>]

I noticed you use strcasecmp...

Unless the tiny cad file format is defined to be case insensitive, I
think strcmp would be better (matching whatever they actually output).

Title:
  [new feature] TinyCAD Import

Status in pcb:
  New

Bug description:
  Attached patch implements new actions to import netlist and parts from
  TinyCAD:

  ImportTinyCAD()
  ImportTinyCAD(netlistfile)

  Both actions take the netlist (first one displays dialog), import the
  netlist and CSV partlist. Name of partlist is derived from netlist
  name: .csv extension is used instead of .net

  First action is bound to menu (Import Schematics -> TinyCAD)

  In TinyCAD:
  - specify footprint name in Package parameter (exist on most symbols) or in Footprint parameter
  - export gEDA copatible netlist
  - export CSV partlist

  In PCB:
  - use the above actions or select menu item to import netlist and partlist in one step.
    * netlist is loaded
    * existing parts are updated or let untouched
    * new parts are added
    * removed parts are selected, so it is easy to delete them

  TinyCAD import is wrapper around existing actions: Load(netlist),
  LoadFrom(netlist, ...) and ElementList(Start|Need|Done,...) and it is
  as good as implementation of these actions.
