Thieving export and missing dummy lines

[karlsonrwa]

Hello again!

I was testing your script and found out that it does not export thieving groups. I assume that you know that in Allegro thieving is a via with some padstack shape without drill. Is it possible to add thieving export? On some boards such things cover lots of board area.

Thanks for your work!

Hi, I have to admit that I'm not quite sure what you mean ... do you mean something like a hatched shape? If you could provide an example (.brd), it would be much easier for me to figure out why the export is not working, thanks!

Here it is. I just made thieving and text one near another. The whole area looks empty after export.

It should look like this.

Just as a hint: if you use a text element within allegro, the text should already be included in the output, but if you create a text from lines, this should work as well ... I have to look into that and I hope I can present you a working solution soon!

In my latest commit the thieving structures should be added to the export ... except if circles are used ... there is still some work to do! Maybe you could check, if this is working for you as well.

Hex thieving works fine! Thank you very much!

Dummy line segments are now also included in the export.

Nope, can't get it working. Are you sure it works fine for you with the brd that I modified earlier?

[juulsA]

Yes, I did the export with your board ... see the attached file. Do you get an error?

Ah, sorry, my mistake! Forgot to reload allegro after pulling new lines from you repo.

Thank you very much for your work!
