Satellite PCB

I notice that once you add footprint(from *.MOD) to part you received all shapes from all non-signal(not copper) layers on a single layer. And it looks like everything is on the silkscreen layer right now. But this is wrong. I don't need all these lines on PCB I need only shapes from the silkscreen layer(if you open MOD file the silkscreen will be layer "21"). Yes, during PCB design I need mechanical(in KiCAD these layers are called ECO or "Engineering Change Order") layers to understand what I have between these pads, but I will not send it to a PCB manufacturer. I think we are losing information about layers, we can't separate the silkscreen layer's shapes from other layers. Also, we don't have solder mask and paste mask layers at all. https://www.loom.com/share/d33f902c38cb45b68b81aa719952eac0

I would love to have a way to communicate with Copilot via an API. I'm thinking about building a tool which could help me with the following use case. I have a list with single source parts in my stock. For each part in this list, I want to ask Copilot a few questions, for example if Copilot could propose some alternative components for my part. In general, I'd like to automate my communication with Copilot. It would be really helpful for me if such a feature would exist.

If I fork a part and want to make a small edit to the svg for example, I don't have access to the svg file since I didn't originate it. A download asset feature would also help somewhat for this: https://feedback.flux.ai/featurerequests/p/adding-svgs-as-a-library-in-flux

Dear Flux.ai Team: Happy New Year 2024:) I logged in to my Flux.ai account, after a year or so, and I see five new projects added to my workspace prefixed with [Example] . I think that a year ago I started testing with just one new project, which I created. I do not mind getting suggestions for viewing public projects, or I might have browsed the Example projects in the past, though these projects show me as a contributor, and my user name is associated with the projects. I am testing and considering using Flux.ai for commercial work and would prefer a very clear specification of what is created by me and owned by me for commercial IP purposes. I do not want to be listed as contributor to projects that I have not contributed to. I do not want to have any IP related ambiguities with respect to work from Artificial Intelligence, or other people, and work performed by my company for commercial purposes. In addition, I suggest an update to D4. License Grant to Us in the Flux.ai terms of service: ...share it with other users or use it for AI training only if you have explicitly and actively selected to make it public. I think that It should be extremely clear and unambiguous that Flux.ai guarantees that no questionable IP content will be added to a user's project, nor that the Flux.ai customer/user's proprietary content will be extracted, or shared for AI training, or other purposes, without them explicitly and actively choosing to do so. I will be glad to share work, which I specifically decide to make public, though again I think that it would be helpful for me and other people to show very clearly what I have created, and what my contribution is, as well as the contributions of all people whose public projects I have included, as well as complete, clear, and ironclad IP rights for all work. Thank You :)

BoM View in the editor to show and review the complete BoM, including sublayouts components, price, description etc. Like everything, this should be backtracked to schematic, where we can do bulk part number edits, description edits etc and it'll be updated in schematic directly.

Import schematics and PCB from KiCAD.

Many users are not electrical engineers and may not always know the part number of the component that they are looking for. To solve this, the parts that fall in a certain category can be grouped together. This feature would allow new and basic users to simply scroll through the group of parts and select the part that he needs to use instead of searching for a part on other websites and then looking it up.

Actions like rotate use " [ " and " ] " instead of the more common "r". Are there plans to allow for custom key binding? This would allow for common actions to be on the same side of the keyboard so you don't have to release the mouse or reach across the keyboard.

For big designs, the resolution of the exported PNG is too low. That causes issues when zooming in on details in the exported file.
