report

Day 1

The big chunk was a new generic action and code in lib_polyhelp that can convert a closed loop of lines and arcs into a polygon. This is then used to calculate the outline polygon.

The board is build layer by layer, with the following features supported:

• outline (board shape)
• round cap line and square cap line on top and bottom silk and copper
• filled circle (via/pin rings) on top and bottom copper
• holes (drilling)
• placing external, user supplied openscad models for elements

Day 2

Got a lot of the missing features done:

• bug: Y coords were mirrored
• arcs and rectangles were not drawn
• polygons were not drawn
• one of the pins was not subtracted properly
• search the library paths for openscad models
• composite layers were not drawn properly
• added options for layers enabled

further work

• respect top/bottom side placement
• place openscad models for subcircuits as well
• repsect rotation for subcircuits
• need more options for colors, thicnkesses
