ok i looked at using the COM interface, and... it's incomplete, lacking the set of required functions to do things such as "add track".
sooOoo... i think i'll take a different approach: i'll write a parser for the ASCII-exported version of the PCB file, track down the relevant sections and replace them with auto-generated tracks.
actually what this approach would allow is, to potentially add in proper curves. if i'm going to use tables mathematically to automate the track generation, i might as well go the whole hog, richard, and do the equations from that 1956 paper, properly. even if it means adding thousands of segments.
what do you think?
Sounds pretty cool! How about we revisit this when we implement something that uses a microwave radio (cellular radio, wifi, etc.)?
