I like your idea. +1
The intended workflow for KiKit is:
Therefore, what we miss to fulfull your request is to have an automatic annotation placement of the full-width tabs that only uses left/right or top/bottom sides.
At the moment a possible work-around is to use fixed-width tabs (with width of the wider side).
In my OP I did mention trying fixed width tabs. It creates the tabs but I still must manually add the v-cuts.
I am also still suffering the 'SwigPyObject' object has no attribute 'FootprintLoad'
error (issue #571)
I tested using kikit 1.4.0+23.gdb18615 and 1.4.0+44.gba5a426
Prerequisites
Description
For completely odd shaped PCBs, mousebites are the easy solution.
There are cases where odd shaped PCBs may have opposing sides which are either horizontal or vertical. (see image below).
Suggestion: allow V-Cuts to be applied to vertical xor horizontal.
I tried a few different methods. The closest I was able to get was to use framing = tightframe and tabs with hcount = 1 and vcount = 0. Then I manually add the v-cut information. I was not able to find any solution to only have vertical v-cuts v-cuts on the ends.
I use the JSON interface.
Here is what I hoped to achieve...
Here is the JSON I have thus far ...
