Parameters

aStoreInNewLib	set to true to save footprints in a existing lib. Existing footprints will be kept or updated. This lib should be in fp lib table, and is type is .pretty. Set to false to save footprints in a new lib. If it is an existing lib, previous footprints will be removed.

Boards can only be saved in KiCad native format.

Parameters

aFileName	is the full path to save a copy to.
aBoard	is a pointer to a loaded BOARD to save.
aSkipSettings	if true, only save the board file. This will lose settings changes that are saved in the project file

Returns: true if the save was completed.

◆ WriteDRCReport()

bool WriteDRCReport	(	BOARD *	aBoard,
		const wxString &	aFileName,
		EDA_UNITS	aUnits,
		bool	aReportAllTrackErrors
	)

Run the DRC check on the given board and writes the results to a report file.

Requires that the project for the board be loaded, and note that unlike the DRC dialog this does not attempt to fill zones, so zones must be valid before calling.

Parameters

aBoard	is a valid loaded board.
aFileName	is the full path and name of the report file to write.
aUnits	is the units to use in the report.
aReportAllTrackErrors	controls whether all errors or just the first error is reported for each track.

Returns: true if successful, false if not.
