Generate gerber for panel

[usbalbin]

Hi!

When panelizing a PCB what is the best way to generate gerbers from the panel? From what I can tell, the 'panelize' config can only generate a preview.

- name: 'panel'
  type: 'panelize'
  options:
    configs: 'panel.json'
    create_preview: true

Should this be done as two steps? First run kibot for the single pcb, run DRC etc and then generate the panel project. Then invoke kibot a second time, this time for the previously generated panel project to generate the gerbers?

Or am I missing something? :)

Yes, currently you need to use two separated runs.
It was discussed in the past, the most recent discussion is here: #670

Ok

Again, thanks a lot! :)

How does that work with navigate_results? Running navigate_results as part of the last kibot invokation seems to only generate the pages for the things generated by that same invokation.

Yes, navigate_results applies to all the outputs defined in the current configuration, I don't see how could be otherwise.

If you need to navigate the results from the first run add a navigate_results to the first run.

And yes, if you need to join 2 or more navigate_results you'll need a custom HTML file, not generated by KiBot.

Ok, makes sense.

Thanks
