◆ createComponentsSection()

void GENCAD_EXPORTER::createComponentsSection ( )

private

Create the $COMPONENTS GenCAD section.

GenCAD $COMPONENTS are the footprint placements. Bottom side components are difficult to handle because shapes must be mirrored or flipped. Silk screen layers need to be handled correctly and so on. Also it seems that no one follows the specs...

Create the $DEVICES section.

This is a list of footprints properties. Footprint shapes are in $SHAPES section.

◆ createRoutesSection()

void GENCAD_EXPORTER::createRoutesSection ( )

Create the $ROUTES section.

This section handles tracks and vias

Todo:: Add zones to GenCAD output.

◆ createShapesSection()

void GENCAD_EXPORTER::createShapesSection ( )

private

Create the footprint shape list.

Since footprint shape is customizable after the placement we cannot share them. Instead we opt for the one footprint one shape one component one device approach.

◆ createTracksInfoData()

void GENCAD_EXPORTER::createTracksInfoData ( )

private

Create the "$TRACKS" section.

This section gives the list of widths (tools) used in tracks and vias

Each track name is build using "TRACK" + track width. For instance for a width = 120 : name = "TRACK120".

◆ footprintWriteShape()

void GENCAD_EXPORTER::footprintWriteShape	(	FOOTPRINT *	aFootprint,
		const wxString &	aShapeName
	)

private

Create the shape of a footprint (SHAPE section)

The shape is always given "normal" orientation. It's almost guaranteed that the silk layer will be imported wrong but the shape also contains the pads.
