Subject:[pcb-rnd] new: pcb-rnd CAM export upgrade for generating documentation
replies: 5982 from Nicklas SB Karlsson <nk...@nksb.eu>
Hi all,
 
you may remember we "always" had a doc_png cam job in our stock config. 
This would generate a front and back drawing of the board, in png. 
Especially convenient when used from the command line: 
 
pcb-rnd -x cam doc_png board_file_name
 
 
After a few minor upgrades to the CAM subsystem and some of the exporters, 
we have two new cam jobs similar to that one:
 
- doc_ps: generates black&white top and bottom drawing in the ps format; 
copper is grayed out and silk is solid black
 
- doc_eps: generates colorful top and bottom drawing in the eps format 
(copper and silk)
 
 
Besides these specific cam job configs, I had to add the following new, 
generic features that you can use to create more complex cam jobs:
 
- new cam per output file option: flip_x (flips X coords before exporting)
 
- new cam per output file option: flip_y (flips Y coords before exporting)
 
- new cam per output file option: force_nonempty (generates output even if 
layer group is empty)
 
- eps export: --enable-flip (enables flipping the board in cam or in GUI, 
without any other side effect)
 
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
