How's it going? Any pro's and > con's to this approach? Yes. I have a git repository with my footprint, symbols. In the past, I had a postgresql database with all my parts. I am now migrating from postgres to SQLight, which is a self contained database system. I'm going to place the sqlite file under version control. I have a few perl script that attaches various attributes to the symbols (reading them from the database). I call this process light2heavy; I place light symbols, and the script makes it heavy. After that, I can generate or update the PCB. With the current migration, I want to add 3D models to my parts, and write some script that does 3D models of my boards. Yes, I know that there is the openscad exporter. I have a makefile system that orchestrates that all. Lev -- 73 de HA5OGL Op.: Levente
