Subject:[pcb-rnd] new: pcb-rnd save buffer padstack to file
Hi all,
 
we have padstack prototype save and load functionality for a while, it's 
accessible from the padstack proto library dialog, e.g. when inspecting 
padstack prototypes of the board or a subcircuit. It's useful for building 
up your "library of commonly used padstacks" on disk or for moving 
padstack protos between boards or footprints.
 
There is a corner case where this dialog can be used, but is not very 
quick: when drawing a new padstack proto to be saved in a padstack proto 
lib on disk. Previously you'd construct your padstack on the board then 
you'd open the board's padstack proto lib dialog, find the new proto there 
and save from there.
 
The new feature mirrors how we do the same thing with subcircuits: after 
constrcuting the new padstack, you can copy it to the buffer and use a 
menu/action/hotkey to save it directly from buffer to file.
 
The new action is called PadstackSave, the new menu item is in the buffer 
menu and the hotkey is {b s shift-p}.
 
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
