Outline

Outline of goals:

An attempt to organize what the purpose of this project is.

Phase 1 [Script]:

This is the initial project goal resulting in a generate_dxf.py that will create a basic libary.

• Export
  • DXF supports all basic entities.
• Entities [Basic] These cover most common building blocks of symbols.
  • Point
  • Line
  • Polyline
  • Rectangle
  • Arc
  • Circle
• Line Styles, DXF standard. Important to properly display symbols.
• Basic Symbols
  • Ref: Issue #1

Phase 2 [Script]:

• Export
  • DXF supports Text entities.
  • DXF supports block exporting and text as block attributes.
  • Export list as single libary.dxf with all items as blocks?
• Entities [Text]
  • Text
  • Multi-line Text
• Bounds
• Implement calculating bounds for each entity
• Allow adding of Bounds
• Create a way to round bounds to nearest inclusive block size

Phase 3 [Script]:

• Export
  • SVG supports basic entities.
• Entities
  • Title Block
• Drawing
  • Move standard line styles to Drawing (Project?) class and allow adding custom line styles.
  • Add title block as a class element

Future:

• Template for hand drawing symbols.
• Circuits
  • Basically a fancy group that will try to lay out multiple symbols in a reasonable manner given a set of constraints.
