Hi everyone,

I've not been active here much recently, but just thought I'd share with everyone that I've updated my PnPConvert tool in the last week.


* Supports new per-feeder vision system of the new CHMT firmware.
* More usable, less-error prone system to select parts. - Instead of components and feeders having aliases, now you can specify mfr+part code in your EDA file, and specify manufacturer+part code in your components and feeders too. when your placement doesn't have valid mfr+part code, then you have placement mappings which go from EDA name pattern/value pattern (regexp, or exact match) to mfr+part code.
* Global substitutions.  e.g.  to use 50V X7R caps instead of  16V X5R caps.  These go from name and value patterns to name/value replacements.  these are used before placement mappings.
* Feeder width/length override, useful for components that have a smaller lead width/length than package width/length.
* Updated SVG rendering.
* Improved panel and pcb definition.
* Support for EDA origin offset, e.g. where the center of the board is 0,0, instead of a corner being 0,0.
* Automatic calculation of rotation and mirroring offsets based on pcb origin and offset.
* Improved output with ascii trees so you can see the effect of substitutions, mappings, component and feeder lookups.
* Loads of documentation updates.
* Improved test coverage.

Enjoy!

Dominic
