How can I create new nets? #127

Closed stormyweathers closed 3 years ago

stormyweathers commented 3 years ago

Hey there,

I'm building my own scripts, and the documentation is quite sparse. I hope you could help me out a bit.

I'm trying to create layouts 100% from script. I know how to place footprints and interate over their pads, but I haven't figured out how to create new nets to connect the pads. I know how to connect pads to existing nets, but not how to create new nets.

Do you have any advice?

I don't know of the top of my head. So I'd start by look at the code of WireIt action plugin (I am not the author) and I'd also search the forum.kicad.info forum. I seem to remember that Qu1çk replied to someone trying to do something similar

Thanks for the tip! The WireIt plugin gave me exactly what I needed.
