-************************************************************** -mise a jour du 5 nov 2003: -PCBNEW: -compléments en visualisation en 3 dimensions du circuit imprimé et de ses modules. -compléments en librairies de modules: la plupart des formes 3D sont réalisées, -et l'arborescence du répertoire des modules est des formes 3D est améliorée. -mise a jour de wings3d (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wings/), -comme modeleur des formes 3D - -************************************************************** -mise a jour du 22 oct 2003: -PCBNEW: -compléments en visualisation en 3 dimensions du circuit imprimé (menu 3d Viewer), -maintenant opérationnelle -ajout de wings3d (www.wings3d.com) comme modeleur des formes 3D - -************************************************************** -mise a jour du 08 oct 2003: -PCBNEW: -compléments en visualisation en 3 dimensions du circuit imprimé (menu 3d Viewer) -doc complétée (mas non complète!) - -************************************************************** -mise a jour du 24 sept 2003: -PCBNEW: -Premier essai de visualisation en 3 dimensions du circuit imprimé (menu 3d Viewer) -Non encore documenté -(commandes: F1,F2 = zoom, fleches Up Down Lef Right = déplacement, Drag de la souris = rotation dans l"espace) - -************************************************************** -mise a jour du 7 juillet 2003: - -LIBRAIRIES: -ajouts divers. - -EESCHEMA -les extrémités de fils et les labels "en l'air" sont maintenant visualisés par un petit carré affiché sur le point non connecté. -Cela facilite fortement la détection des fils ou labels mal ou non connectés. -Cependant une extrémité de fil peut rester non connectée, sans que cela pose problème. -C'est le cas de fils connectés par des labels. -Mais les fils chevauchant des pins sans y etre connectés sont maintenant facilement détectables. - -************************************************************ -mise a jour du 14 mai 2003: - -LIBRAIRIES: -ajouts divers. - -MODULES: -Ajout de connecteurs et supports. - - -PCBNEW: -suppression de bug -gestion des pastilles excentrées -amélioration des tests ERC (isolation entre pastilles, non encore terminé) - - -EESCHEMA -Les champs peuvent etre maintenant justifiés : - a gauche, droite, haut, bas, ou centrés -Ceci uniquement en librairie - -Amérioration des liens vers le simulateur GNUCAP (compatible spice) - -DIVERS -mise a jour du simulateur GNUCAP (version 0.33) et de sa doc
