PCB with variant generator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Creates a copy of the PCB with all the filters and variants applied.
This copy isn't intended for development. |br|
Is just a tweaked version of the original where you can look at the results. |br|
Type: ``pcb_variant``
Parameters:
- **comment** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; comment>` [string=''] A comment for documentation purposes. It helps to identify the output.
- **dir** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; dir>` [string='./'] Output directory for the generated files.
If it starts with `+` the rest is concatenated to the default dir.
- **name** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; name>` [string=''] Used to identify this particular output definition.
Avoid using `_` as first character. These names are reserved for KiBot.
- **options** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; options>` [dict] Options for the `pcb_variant` output.
- Valid keys:
- **output** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; output>` [string='%f-%i%I%v.%x'] Filename for the output (%i=variant, %x=kicad_pcb). Affected by global options.
- ``copy_project`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; copy_project>` [boolean=true] Copy the KiCad project to the destination directory.
- ``dnf_filter`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; dnf_filter>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``hide_excluded`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; hide_excluded>` [boolean=false] Hide components in the Fab layer that are marked as excluded by a variant.
Affected by global options.
- ``pre_transform`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; pre_transform>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to transform fields before applying other filters.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``title`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; title>` [string=''] Text used to replace the sheet title. %VALUE expansions are allowed.
If it starts with `+` the text is concatenated.
- ``variant`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant - options; variant>` [string=''] Board variant to apply.
- **type** :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; type>` [string=''] Type of output.
- ``category`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; category>` [string|list(string)=''] The category for this output. If not specified an internally defined category is used.
Categories looks like file system paths, i.e. **PCB/fabrication/gerber**.
The categories are currently used for `navigate_results`.
- ``disable_run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; disable_run_by_default>` [string|boolean] Use it to disable the `run_by_default` status of other output.
Useful when this output extends another and you don't want to generate the original.
Use the boolean true value to disable the output you are extending.
- ``extends`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; extends>` [string=''] Copy the `options` section from the indicated output.
Used to inherit options from another output of the same type.
- ``groups`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; groups>` [string|list(string)=''] One or more groups to add this output. In order to catch typos
we recommend to add outputs only to existing groups. You can create an empty group if
needed.
- ``output_id`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; output_id>` [string=''] Text to use for the %I expansion content. To differentiate variations of this output.
- ``priority`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; priority>` [number=50] [0,100] Priority for this output. High priority outputs are created first.
Internally we use 10 for low priority, 90 for high priority and 50 for most outputs.
- ``run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - pcb_variant; run_by_default>` [boolean=true] When enabled this output will be created when no specific outputs are requested.
