The style check now passes without errors, so it's time to send the git diff to the lead dev for FidoCadJ, along with the new pcb-rnd exporter module.
The changes to the FidoCadJ code add the export option to the menu system, and allow the Export routine to call the new PCBRNDExporter.java code.
the pcb-rnd exporter module handles the conversion from the internal data structure to the pcb-rnd export file.
The flying spaghetti monster continues to export properly, and the circuit layer in FidoCadJ ends up on bottom silk, as planned, in pcb-rnd.
Testing has confirmed that cubic splines consisting of only two vertices now export to a pcb-rnd layout as a single line segment, keeping the exported file ore compact.
FidoCadJ users now have access to not only gerber export from pcb-rnd, but also g-code.
Thinking ahead, FidoCadJ is likely to be an ideal tool for stroked (centreline defined) font design, i.e. Hershey Family/Engraving/Milling/PCB/EggBot fonts.... but first, we need to confirm that the exported PCB is manufacturable, as intended....
