This provides a method to add symbols that represent footprints on the
board that do not have an associate component such as mounting holes,
fiducials, logos, etc that should be excluded from the bill of materials.
It also prevents those footprints from being removed from the board
accidentally when updating the board from the schematic.
ADDED: Support to exclude schematic symbols from bill of materials
export.
CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
The RTree does not have a deterministic iterator, so extracting items
may be in arbitrary order, causing issues as the schematic appears to
change when comparing to previous revisions.
This uses the SCH_ITEM comparison operator to for ordering by type, then
by custom sorting within type.
For the netlist, we choose the first available unit in the sheet for
each component.
Fixes#3811 | https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3811
Scope: NETLIST_ITEM, CONNECTION_TYPE, ELECTRICAL_PINTYPE,
NET_CONNECTION, NETLIST_ITEM, GRAPHIC_PINSHAPE
Note, the pin type enum had PT_ added to the front to prevent
shadowing of the INPUT symbol on msys2 (see discussion at
c17c9960d8)
Spice lines defining circuit elements are contained in a .subckt ..
.ends block. The intervening lines should be exported to the netlist as
well as the control lines.
This moves EESchema DLIST structures to rtree. These changes are more
fundamental than the pcbnew changes from 9163ac543888c01d11d1877d7c1
and 961b22d60 as eeschema operations were more dependent on passing
drawing list references around with SCH_ITEM* objects.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
The pin name defined in Eeschema is now available as pad info.
Useful for the board designer (the pin function is displayed in the message panel).
Needed for the Gerber P&P files.
This reverts commit eadf6d93bc.
because the issue with net names containing '/' is not actually inside the netlist.
This commit eadf creates issues with ngspice 2.8 and older, and do not fix anything in ngspice
Netlists do not accept any char in netnames (especially spice).
They must use only "/" as root sheet path name.
Especially _( "<root sheet>" ) breaks netlists because:
- there is a space in name, and special chars (< and >)
- it is a translatable name. so the actual name cannot be managed.
- most of netlist code in Kicad expects a "/" as root path.
Net names in eeschema that include '/' are escaped ('/' replaced by "{slash}")
Escaped netnames are only for internal use, and must be unescaped in spice netlist and dialogs.
Bus upgrades: core new connectivity code
Bus upgrades: eeschema integration and modifications
Bus upgrades: eeschema dialogs
Bus upgrades: netlist export
Bus upgrades: file format changes
This breaks the following functions out to a general-purposed refdes utils
header:
* MODULE::GetReferencePrefix()
* kicad_string.h RefDesStringCompare()
This acheives:
* Slimming of MODULE interface
* Placement of refdes code in common rather than pcbnew
** Testing of this code in qa_common
* Tighter and smaller includes for code that only needed refdes functions
Note: there are failing tests commited (as expected failures). These
are the cause of lp:1813669 and will be fixed as a follow-up commit.
Spice may include a list of directives that are wrapped with
.control and .endc. Such directives do not have a dot prefix, so
they need to be handled in a special way.

The old item pointers (which aren't safe to keep around) were
removed in favour of opaque references (void*) which are then
compared against existing items when needed.
Also improves brightening by brightening the whole footprint
(ie: its pads, drawings, reference and value) rather than just
its target cross.
(cherry picked from commit 30e90b0)
Also hooks up the Python netlist reader to the descriptions so
that they appear correctly in BOMs. (The BOM generators used
to always get the root component's description rather than the
alias's description.)

The original algorithm picked the value from the last component having
non empty value for a given field, but the processing order was
dependent on the layout of the components in the memory. It means that
for each component, the field values could have been taken from any
unit, randomly.
The patch improves the algorithm, trying to get all values from the unit
with the lowest number and resorts to other units only when there are
field values left empty.
Values generated by NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceFieldDefVal()
and the actual value that was stored in a netlist differed when a
component has multiple units.
Due to that, the Spice model editor dialog incorrectly recognized
"alternate node sequence" value as the default one and cleared it
when the dialog was closed.
Code fixing Spice device names (prefixing reference with a character
corresponding to the assigned device model type) that was duplicated in
a few places has been moved to a function (NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceDevice()).
For some reason, when calling python and giving a full filename script, the last separator in the filename
must be '/', not '\'.
Otherwise the import command inside the script does not find files to import in the same folder as the script.
We cannot replace blindly '\' to '/' in command line because it does not work for file on a server (name starting by \\server_name\).
So the fix is just replacing one '\' in python script full filename.
This is not perfect, but at least it works for newly created plugin commands.
Spice netlist exporter processes all texts on the exported schematic
sheet to find spice directives and include them in the output file.
By default it also added ".title KiCad schematic" in the first line, so
if there was another .title directive in the exported schematic sheet,
the generated file would contain two .title directives.
This patch looks for .title directive and when one is found - it uses
the specified title in the first line.
This is the last of the object save/load code that was not moved into
the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN object. All schematic and library I/O is now
performed in the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN object and as been removed from the
schematic and library objects.
The old single symbol file format has been replaced with the normal
symbol library file format since there was no difference between them
except the SYMBOL token. The SYMBOL token was no longer being read
since the introduction of the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN symbol library loader.
Update the Doxygen comments in all of the modified files.
SEARCH_STACK is a deprecated method for getting the list of paths where
one could look for a file. Instead it tries the project path and
environmental variables.
Simplify some of the library editing code. There have been a few minor
changes in the behavior of the editor. If the current symbol is deleted
from the library, the next symbol in the library is not loaded. The
deleted symbol is cleared and the current symbol is empty.
Change component to symbol to align with the preferred terminology
discussed on the developer's mailing list.
Add separate update UI event for save library as to enable the menu entry
whenever a library is selected.
Change the select symbol list dialog to a single column using the LIB_ID
format LIB_NICKNAME:LIB_ITEM_NAME so that the selection can be parsed by
LIB_ID.
Add method to expand URI to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Override wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() in debug builds to make debugging
easier when an unhandled exception occurs in a wxUpdateUIEvent handler.
Change SCH_SCREENS::HasNoFullyDefinedLibIds() to return false when the
schematic has no symbols to prevent the remapping dialog from being run.
Use SCH_COMPONENT part reference when creating netlist rather than looking
up the library symbol.
(On windows, xsltproc.exe does not accept '\' in output filename, only '/' like on Unix, so this separator is converted when possible)
Minor code cleanup
- pad names are stored as wxString instead of a char[4] & integer union
- removed pad name to string conversion functions
- fixed pad & pin properties dialog restrictions regarding the name
length
This commit was too broad and not cognizant of the purpose of the class
UTF8.
Add MAYBE_VERIFY_UTF8() macro, which can trap non-UTF8 encoded strings in
debug builds.
Use that macro conditionally in class UTF8 to trap non-UTF8 encoded strings
being put into UTF8 instances.
Sadly, each unit of a component can have its own unique fields. This
change finds the last non blank field and records it. Last guy wins
and the order of units occuring in a schematic hierarchy is variable.
Therefore user is best off setting fields into only one unit. But this
scavenger algorithm will find any non blank fields in all units and use
the last non-blank field for each unique field name.

Allows to map nodes to pins for Spice models that have more pins than
corresponding schematic symbol. An example is a MOSFET model containing
gate, source, drain & body, whereas schematic symbol part has only gate,
source & drain with body and source connected inside the part.
Use LIB_ID instead of wxString for storing the library symbol information
in the schematic symbol in preparation for the upcoming symbol library table
implementation.
Change the FindLibAlias and FindLibPart functions in the PART_LIBS object
instead of wxString. Please note that only the library ID name is used to
search the list of libraries. The library nickname is ignored. Once the
symbol library table is implemented and full LIB_IDs are defined, the
library search code will no longer be used and will only be kept to load
older schematics that have not been converted.
Move SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE definition so that the legacy plugin knows
how to properly delete the cache object.
netlist generation: remove option "replace IC and U ref by X" (broken option).
All component refs are now prefixed by the Spice_Primitive field value.
Therefore the netlist used by Kicad ngsipce simulator and the spice netlist generated from dialog are the same.
(note: like previously, forbidden chars like ( and ) are replaced by _ in netnames)
This commit creates more issues than resolves. It could happen that
there are components with different reference types (e.g. U1 and IC1)
that would be later converted to X1, causing a conflict.
* Derive SCH_SHEET_LIST from std::vector rather than using internal array
management. Change all internal code to use iterators or array operator
in loops.
* Allow creation of empty SCH_SHEET_LIST for external population for plotting
and printing.
* Clean up print an plot code to take advantage of new SCH_SHEET_LIST behavior.
* Make BuildSheetList() public so list can be populated after creation.
* Update all instances of SCH_SHEET_LIST with the appropriate SCH_SHEET
object on initialization.
* Create const and non-const version of SCH_SHEET_PATH::GetSheet().
* Add sheet number that is set by schematic file load order. This duplicates
the previous SCH_SHEET_PATH behavior.
* Uncouple SCH_REFERENCE and SCH_REFERENCE_LIST from SCH_SHEET_PATH.
* Add - operator to SCH_SHEET for comparison purposes. This duplicates the
behavior of SCH_SHEET_PATH::Cmp().
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetRef() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use SCH_SHEET
instead.
* Uncouple SCH_COMPONENT::GetUnitSelection() from SCH_SHEET_PATH and use
SCH_SHEET instead.
* Fix all calls to GetRef() and GetUnitSelection() to pass a pointer to the
appropriate SCH_SHEET object instead of an SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Add code to SCH_SHEET object to clear annotation.
* Change SCH_COMPONENT::GetPath() to derive path from SCH_SHEET object instead
of SCH_SHEET_PATH object.
* Remove clear annotation code from SCH_SCREENS object.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
This is due to the fact static strings flagged translated ( _("string") notation) are not translated when they are static only if they are not inside a dll.
When they are static inside a dll, the dictionary is already loaded, and the constructor translate them.
Therefore they can be translated twice in dialogs are calling wxGetTranslation to show them, if the application is run from kicad.
But if the application is run as stand alone, the translation is made only once (as expected).
