Load times were >20min for moderate sized libraries as EnumFiles
iterated over the entire list for each operation. The update modifies
our third-party lib to allow a return value, stopping the iteration when
we find our desired entry. This also provides a short-circuit for
ASCII-based names, allowing single-level parsing if available
- Support unicode footprint names
- Set default footprint text size and thickness to match KLC
- Position Reference at the top, Value at the bottom of fp bounding box
The test simply loads every footprint of a library, and compares all elements with an equivalent
KiCad footprint. This allows us to quickly spot regressions in the altium and kicad footprint importer,
and any code in-between. This test is only a demo, as the checks are still incomplete and quite a few
tests are missing.
It has to be noted that mask expansion is not supported rigt now by the altium importer, thus the
reference footprint is adjusted to keep the test happy.
For now, they are extracted into the same directory as the project file.
Furthermore, there seems to be a problem with rotation / positioning of some models.
