Module and utilities for manipulating part fields in KiCad files.

Project description

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/kifield.svg https://travis-ci.org/xesscorp/KiField.svg?branch=master

A utility for manipulating part fields in KiCad schematic files or libraries. KiField can extract all the component fields from a schematic or library and place them into a spreadsheet for bulk editing, after which you can insert the edited values from the spreadsheet back into the schematic or library.

KiField is usually employed in a three-step process:

  1. First use KiField to extract the part field labels and values from a schematic or library and place them into a CSV or XLSX spreadsheet file.

  2. Edit the spreadsheet file to change existing field values, add entirely new fields, or completely delete fields.

  3. Finally, use KiField to insert the updated field labels and values from the spreadsheet file into the schematic or library.

Features

  • Extracts all fields and values from one or more KiCad schematic libraries or files (even hierarchical designs), and inserts them into a spreadsheet (either CSV or XLSX format).

  • Extracts all fields and values from one or more CSV or XLSX spreadsheet files and inserts them into one or more KiCad schematics or libraries.

History

0.1.8 (2017-09-23)

  • Catch exception caused by numeric fields that aren’t strings interacting with vis/invis option.

0.1.7 (2017-08-14)

  • Added visibility/invisibility option for fields.

0.1.6 (2017-01-30)

0.1.5 (2016-11-29)

  • Added recursive operations on hierarchical schematics so everything can be handled just by processing the top-level file.

0.1.4 (2016-05-29)

0.1.3 (2016-05-29)

  • Fixed issue where all the fields from multi-unit components in a schematic were not appearing in the csv file.

0.1.2 (2016-04-13)

  • Fixed issues #3 and #4 regarding incompatibilities with openpyxl 2.4.0a1.

0.1.1 (2016-02-20)

  • Added the ability to extract/insert fields in DCM files.

  • Added the ability to explicitly exclude fields from extraction/insertion.

0.1.0 (2016-01-29)

  • First release on PyPI.
