I’m trying to create a filled copper pour in pcbnew.
I can’t get AddArea or InsertArea to work because i can’t tell it what net to use.
Looking at http://docs.kicad-pcb.org/doxygen-python i need an integer, ideally from board.GetNetcodeFromNetname()
This doesn’t seem to exist in my script window or in my pcbnew.py file.
I don’t have GetNetsByName or GetNetsByNetcode either, not that they would help.
I do have FindNets, but it returns a structure that addarea or insertarea won’t accept and returns a single entry that has no name which is not correct, my named nets show up correctly in the GUI.
This is my first go at scripting but i haven’t had any trouble with moving components around or placing tracks.
I renamed my folder “python2.7\sitepackages” that contains pcbnew.py and reinstalled latest version but i’m still missing these functions.
can/should i just copy the stubs into my pcbnew.py file?
Thanks.
