I dont' think kicad can do it, but if you download this program:
GC-Prevue, it's a gerber viewer. it can mirror a gerber file and print.

Hi everyone.

Is it possible to print out a pcb layer mirrored?

I have made a double sided pcb, and I'm manufacturing it in my kitchen
table.
I print the pcb layout on transparent sheets and use them to expose
the photopcb.
Unfortunately one side of the pcb doesn't get exposed very well
because the printed side of the transparent sheet isn't towards the
pcb. UV light gets under the mask and the tracks and pads get fuzzy
when the pcb is developed.
If the printout could be inverted or mirrored the problem would be solved.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have checked the manual, but couldn't find anything on the subject.

Could this be a new feature in a future release of Kicad?

Finally a big applause for Jean-Pierre Charras for writing this
awesome piece of software. Well done.

Best regards
Peter

Hi,
I have just uploaded the corrected PQFP208 module to folder DJSBRISCOE
in the files section.

As well as the libraries you need the development header files too.

Hello,
I have spent the last few days correcting the pin spacing on the

If anyone is interested I will upload the modified module file.
I did the editing by changing the co-ordinates directly in the
libcms.mod text file.To do this I wrote a small c++ file to generate
the co-ordinates to a file.I then used another parsing program to
replace each incorrect line in the original module file with the
modified line.Finally I fired up the module editor and checked the
spacing.The package outline will need slight ajustment, but that is
easily done by moving/extending a few lines.The critical thing is that
the pads are now spaced correctly.
The only thing that remains is to print out and test it on the actual
device.
Please let me know if anyone would like to try this out also.

  

I want to try it out, is it at yahoo files? where?

Hi,

I had the same problem when i was using my older laptop. I had
installed Mesa/OpenGL and it worked fine. Also the wings3d worked fine,
but Kicad did not. Now, I have a new laptop with 3D acceleration and it
works fine. So, I guess that you need to install the 3D acceleration
drivers.

I have the same operationg system (Debian Sarge) in both laptop. The
OpenGL and Mesa are the same and also the X windows. The only difference
is in the acceleration hardware.

When I run the glxgears program i get about 1300 FPS

Best Regards, Juan

Are you launching KiCAD from the command line or by clicking on a menu or
icon? If you are launching from the command line, are there any error
messages at all that might give some sort of a clue?

Otherwise, if there are no errors at all, I'd say one option is to build
KiCAD from source with debugging enabled (I've done this before, it's easy),
just make sure you have all the wxWidgets and Wings3D headers (dev packages)
installed (and maybe some GTK headers, I don't recall). Then run KiCAD in the
debugger and set some breakpoints where it's supposed to do the 3D stuff.
I'll bet if you do that, it won't take long at all before you can observe
where it's going wrong.

If you "cat" ("type" I guess in Windoze speak) the ulp script, you'll see an

I just uploaded "exp-kicad-lib.ulp" under the rm_sharkey_libs

This is a ULP script to export EAGLE PCB parts to KiCAD. To use,

open EAGLE

PCB, load the library you're interested in, into the library

editor, and then

run this ULP script.

It has one bug that I have not gotten around to fix yet (I did not

write this

script). The bug is in selecting the correct layer for the pads.

However,

even in it's current state, you can manually edit the KiCAD output

and touch

up the pads using search and replace, just compare with a

similar "good"

KiCAD lib and you'll see what has to be modifed. Asside from that,

it does a

pretty good job of exporting.....maybe if someone has some time

they could

tweek this script a bit to make it work better.

hi all,

I just posted a modified gendrill.cpp file. For those who can compile, if you are interested, try it out. It adds some options for the NC Drill files. here is what is changed:

-added call to SetParams() so that metic is possible.
-fixed metric tool size problem
-changed header: title is a header comment, not an M47 break command.
-changed header: added a drill format comment (for clarity with manufacturers)
-added y-axis orientation, option mirror: checked is the old way.
-added minimal header option: only tools and units are included
-added 2:3,2:4 inch format old inch format is now called "Decimal"
-added 3:2,3:3 metric format. decimal is also added. maybe 4:2/3 would be more useful?

I have milled a board made with inch,2:3,supress trailing, minimal header. I have also had one manufactured with the 2:4 setting. I checked all the others in GC-Prevue, and ViewMate gerber viewers. They seems to work properly. I was compiling on the last test release but don't think this part changed anyway. Lots of code was changed and some new function added. I did not change any of the Drill sheet code and I hope I didn't mess any of if up, but I seems that code is pretty much seperate.

Hi Camilo,

Try message number 61 of sep. 28.
Maybe you have color depth set to 16 instead of 24 or 32 bits.

The most likely thing is it needs an OpenGL or Mesa driver which supports your
video card. Because you have X11 up and running, it does not nessesarily mean
that Mesa/OpenGL 3D rendering is supported on your video card.

Does the 3D viewer open a window which is black asside from the menu bar? If
so, then you most likely need to get Mesa or OpenGL working with your video
card, or get another video card, or.....
