# panelize-plugin
This is a proof of concept automatic panelization plugin for KiCad.
# KiCad v6 Panelization plugin
* I am using this personally, for simple rectangular panels, not all functions are tested;
* Should be used only for rectangular boards;
* Edge layer should consist only of Rectangles and Lines;
* All outline elements must have the same linewidth property;

__It can currently be used, however it does not generate any holes in the tabs!__
# Version history
## v0.9 (2021-12-16)
* Initial commit to github;
* Disabled some controls in the GUI (fiducials and holes are not used by my, not tested);
* Rectangle support as an outline shape (introduced in v6);
* Added check for unresolved text variables (introduced in v6);
* Disregard outline linewidths in calculations (probably broken in zip file from initial source, listed below)


# Credits
Credits goes to these sources:
* The work is taken from https://github.com/msvisser/panelize-plugin (it seems abandoned),
