When installing this from the KiCad plugin and content manager, the latest version available is 1.0.4, so issues like #22 still exist. I'm guessing the newest version needs to be submitted to https://gitlab.com/kicad/addons/metadata?

it outputs an empty dxf file

kicad6.0.4

Hi,

I think that "model3d_list.py" in checking3Dmodels needs "import re"

after adding this import, it works OK:

When pushing Apply om the Generating Fab Positions dialog I get the following error message:

I'm using version: (6.0.0-rc1-135-gd60474d3ef), release build
Platform: Windows 10 (build 19042), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW
Build Date: Nov 24 2021 12:00:44

Is it on purpose that you only check for .stp, .step and .stpZ but not for .wrl 3d files?

When trying to use this plugin, error shown below:

When I run the plugin in KiCAD 6.99 I get this error:

this because wxPoint is used and KiCAD 6.99 expects the usage of VECTOR2I instead.

I'll submit a PR that fixes the issue and still allows to work with old and new KiCAD versions.

In KiCad 8.0, when trying to move multiple dimension objects to another layer, this creates an error.

Hello, i try to move an edge cuts outline to an aux layer, like user drawing or User 1, but i receive this error:

Is there a way to solve it?

Hi guys,

I have a Hanwha (Samsung) PNP machine and the native format (.ssa) is a little different from the one in this plugin.
The header looks like this:

`[VERSION]

[PCB]
Unit System = MILIMETER
Coordinate = LOWER LEFT
Rotation = 0
Placement Origin = , -169.959, 112.268
Fiducial = CIRCLE, 3.890, 5.378, 164.010, -108.940
Accept Mark = NONE, 0, 0
Bad Mark = NONE, 0, 0

[BOARD]
Board Name = MQCXPI Jack_module_3.5_Alex PANEL
PCB Size = 171.400, 120.000, 3.000
Array = 1, 1, LOWER RIGHT
Array Offset = 0.000, 0.000

[PLACEMENTS]
"J1" 18.882 -2.656 0.000 180.000 NONE 0 0 0 0 1610 0 "Jack_3.5mm_PJ320D" "" "AudioJack4"
"J1" 5.106 -9.806 0.000 0.000 NONE 0 0 0 0 1610 0 "Jack_3.5mm_PJ320D" "" "AudioJack4"

"J1" 76.798 -2.656 0.000 180.000 NONE 0 0 0 0 1610 0 "Jack_3.5mm_PJ320D" "" "AudioJack4"
"J1" 105.756 -2.656 0.000 180.000 NONE 0 0 0 0 1610 0 "Jack_3.5mm_PJ320D" "" "AudioJack4"`

It would need some parameters:

• select type of format (txt or ssa)
• for ssa: a list with checkboxes that shows every component with reference starting with FID. The user must check two or three.

Would you be available to implement this? I am willing to pay to have this feature.

Hi,
Any chance to add the compatibility for KiCAD v8 please?
Many thanks.

Just a question, not really an issue.

As the title says, can/could this plugin be made to work from within the footprint editor?

-Chris

Would it be possible to export the drill layer? PCBNew can already plot a drill map file. That's fine, except that the actual drill holes are replaced with symbols for easy identification. (I just spent a couple of hours replacing those symbols with circles in a drawing so that I could verify a 3D model.) Would it be possible to generate the drawing with the actual holes automatically, (with an option to include the contents of the edge cuts layer)?

In wxWidgets the main event loop doesn't end unless all top level windows are destroyed. Your plugin doesn't destroy it's dialog window properly and it prevents kicad.exe from exiting.

Always call dialog.Destroy, after Show() or ShowModal(), best to do it in a finally block.

Also no need to do both Show() and ShowModal(), just ShowModal() has same effect.

Hello!
This is a request for a YES/NO vote for the following proposal:
Shared development of tools, scripts, plugins for KiCad EDA
kicad-extra/arkon#1
Thank you, and apologies if you already responded or otherwise not interested.

When dxf exports, you cannot export rectangles drawn by the Rectangle tool, whereas line segments are drawn yes.

I am not sure on which nightly this stopped working but on today's (2023-04-20) build I am no longer able to move drawings to another layer.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

by selecting the footprint not havign the 3D Model or by selecting nothing, each time i push that button I get:
