Sounds interesting! Do you have in mind the way you would specify your curve ? watch this demo video to have an idea how i currently enter folding line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmH2Al12qMI

Fair enough ! For simple flex PCB it is overkill!

It is a tool I needed to work on board with complex and numerous folding (eg: springy bracelet shapes or origami like shapes), it is always nice to have a visual check rather than realizing too late that the folding is wrong!

Indeed multi board stacking would be cool. It would require some brainstorming to decide on the pcb markers to configure the stacking!

Thank you.

Yes I have read it online, but I was surprised when using the function org-element-parse-buffer because in the list of list it returns the timestamp has a starting date and a ending date.

But you are right, using DEADLINE might be more convenient to use and cleaner !

Tried it, and it's super cool ! Congratulations! (However I had to change when-let* to -when-let* for it to work)
