Detailed Description

List of known keys for advanced configuration options.

Set these options in the file kicad_advanced in the KiCad config directory.

Variable Documentation

◆ CompactFileSave

const wxChar AC_KEYS::CompactFileSave[] = wxT( "CompactSave" )

static

When set to true, this will wrap polygon point sets at 4 points per line rather than a single point per line.

Single point per line helps with version control systems

◆ CoroutineStackSize

const wxChar AC_KEYS::CoroutineStackSize[] = wxT( "CoroutineStackSize" )

static

Configure the coroutine stack size in bytes.

This should be allocated in multiples of the system page size (n*4096 is generally safe)

◆ DebugPDFWriter

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DebugPDFWriter[] = wxT( "DebugPDFWriter" )

static

◆ DebugZoneFiller

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DebugZoneFiller[] = wxT( "DebugZoneFiller" )

static

Definition at line 140 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ DrawArcAccuracy

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DrawArcAccuracy[] = wxT( "DrawArcAccuracy" )

static

For drawsegments - arcs.

Distance from an arc end point and the estimated end point, when rotating from the start point to the end point. 0 will not allow any approximate result, and the arc will not show. Squared value for performances, in system unit.

Definition at line 114 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ DrawArcCenterStartEndMaxAngle

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DrawArcCenterStartEndMaxAngle[] = wxT( "DrawArcCenterStartEndMaxAngle" )

static

For drawsegments - arcs.

When drawing an arc, the angle ( center - start ) - ( start - end ), can be limited to avoid extremely high radii. The value is the tan( angle )

◆ DrawBoundingBoxes

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DrawBoundingBoxes[] = wxT( "DrawBoundingBoxes" )

static

Definition at line 152 of file advanced_config.cpp.

Referenced by ADVANCED_CFG::loadSettings().

◆ DRCEpsilon

const wxChar AC_KEYS::DRCEpsilon[] = wxT( "DRCEpsilon" )

static

A fudge factor for DRC.

Required to prevent false positives due to rounding errors, errors in polygonalization, etc. Previous versions hard-coded various values from 0.000005mm to 0.002mm.

Definition at line 74 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ ExtraFillMargin

const wxChar AC_KEYS::ExtraFillMargin[] = wxT( "ExtraFillMargin" )

static

When filling zones, we add an extra amount of clearance to each zone to ensure that rounding errors do not overrun minimum clearance distances.

This is the extra in mm.

Definition at line 67 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ HoleWallThickness

const wxChar AC_KEYS::HoleWallThickness[] = wxT( "HoleWallPlatingThickness" )

static

Used to calculate the actual hole size from the finish hole size.

IPC-6012 says 0.015-0.018mm; Cadence says at least 0.020mm for a Class 2 board and at least 0.025mm for Class 3.

◆ HotkeysDumper

const wxChar AC_KEYS::HotkeysDumper[] = wxT( "HotkeysDumper" )

static

Definition at line 150 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ MinPlotPenWidth

const wxChar AC_KEYS::MinPlotPenWidth[] = wxT( "MinPlotPenWidth" )

static

Absolute minimum pen width to send to the plotter.

PDF seems happy enough with 0.0212mm (which equates to 1px @ 1200dpi).

Definition at line 138 of file advanced_config.cpp.

◆ PluginAltiumSch

const wxChar AC_KEYS::PluginAltiumSch[] = wxT( "PluginAltiumSch" )

static

When true, enable Altium Schematic import (*.SchDoc)

Definition at line 132 of file advanced_config.cpp.

Referenced by ADVANCED_CFG::loadSettings().

◆ RealtimeConnectivity

const wxChar AC_KEYS::RealtimeConnectivity[] = wxT( "RealtimeConnectivity" )

static

Testing mode for new connectivity algorithm.

Setting this to on will cause all modifications to the netlist to be recalculated on the fly. This may be slower than the standard process at the moment

Definition at line 88 of file advanced_config.cpp.

Referenced by ADVANCED_CFG::loadSettings().

◆ ShowRouterDebugGraphics

const wxChar AC_KEYS::ShowRouterDebugGraphics[] = wxT( "ShowRouterDebugGraphics" )

static

Show PNS router debug graphics while routing.

Definition at line 99 of file advanced_config.cpp.

Referenced by ADVANCED_CFG::loadSettings().

◆ SmallDrillMarkSize

const wxChar AC_KEYS::SmallDrillMarkSize[] = wxT( "SmallDrillMarkSize" )

static

The diameter of the drill marks on print and plot outputs (in mm), when the "Drill marks" option is set to "Small mark".

Definition at line 148 of file advanced_config.cpp.

Referenced by ADVANCED_CFG::loadSettings().

◆ StrokeTriangulation

const wxChar AC_KEYS::StrokeTriangulation[] = wxT( "StrokeTriangulation" )

static

When true, GAL will stroke the triangulations (only used in OpenGL) with a visible color.
