Panelize
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Creates a panel to fabricate various copies of the PCB at once.
|
|
It currently uses the KiKit tool, which must be available. |br|
|
|
Consult KiKit docs for detailed information. |br|
|
|
`KiKit panelization docs <https://github.com/yaqwsx/KiKit/blob/master/doc/examples.md>`__. |br|
|
|
Current versions of KiKit only support KiCad 6 and my tests using
|
|
KiKit 1.0.5 (the last to support KiCad 5) shown some
|
|
incompatibilities. |br|
|
|
Note that you don't need to specify the units for all distances. |br|
|
|
If they are omitted they are assumed to be `units`. |br|
|
|
The same is valid for angles, using `default_angles`
