Function Documentation

ConvertInvertedNetName()

wxString PADS_COMMON::ConvertInvertedNetName

(

const std::string &

aNetName

)

Convert a PADS net name to KiCad format, handling inverted signal notation.

PADS uses a "/" prefix to indicate inverted signals (e.g. "/RESET"). KiCad uses overbar notation "~{name}" for the same purpose. Non-inverted names pass through unchanged.

This function is shared between the PCB and schematic importers to ensure both sides produce identical net names.

Parameters

aNetName

Raw PADS net name.

Returns

Net name in KiCad notation.

DetectPadsFileType()

PADS_FILE_TYPE PADS_COMMON::DetectPadsFileType

(

const wxString &

aFilePath

)

Detect the type of a PADS file by examining its header.

Parameters

aFilePath

Path to the file to examine.

Returns

Detected file type.

FindRelatedPadsFiles()

RELATED_FILES PADS_COMMON::FindRelatedPadsFiles

(

const wxString &

aFilePath

)

Find related PADS project files from a given source file.

When importing a PADS PCB file, looks for matching schematic files. When importing a PADS schematic file, looks for matching PCB files. Matches are found by:

1. Same base filename with different file headers
2. Files in same directory with compatible headers

Parameters

aFilePath

Path to the source file being imported.

Returns

Structure containing paths to any related files found.

GenerateDeterministicUuid()

KIID PADS_COMMON::GenerateDeterministicUuid

(

const std::string &

aIdentifier

)

Generate a deterministic KIID from a PADS component identifier.

This function creates a reproducible UUID based on the input string, enabling cross-probe linking between schematic symbols and PCB footprints when both are imported from the same PADS project.

The UUID is generated using a hash of the input string formatted into a valid UUID structure. The same input will always produce the same UUID.

Parameters

aIdentifier

String identifying the component (typically refdes or combination of part type and refdes).

Returns

A deterministic KIID that can be used for cross-probe linking.

PadsLineStyleToKiCad()

LINE_STYLE PADS_COMMON::PadsLineStyleToKiCad

(

int

aPadsStyle

)

Convert a PADS line style integer to a KiCad LINE_STYLE enum value.

PADS stores line style as an unsigned int that should be interpreted as a signed int8_t for mapping.

ParseDouble()

double PADS_COMMON::ParseDouble	(	const std::string &	aStr,
		double	aDefault = 0.0,
		const std::string &	aContext = {} )

Parse double from string with error context.

Returns aDefault on failure and logs a trace warning.

ParseInt()

int PADS_COMMON::ParseInt	(	const std::string &	aStr,

Parse integer from string with error context.
