Is it not possible for you to obfuscate the board to illustrate the
problem? Just delete 99% of the stuff on it to just show a board edge and
the hole?

Hi Michael,
Is this in 4.0.*? Is the hole the same size as the pad? If so it’s a known
bug that is fixed in 5.0.
If not then we’d love to get a cut-down version of the board.
Cheers,
Jeff.

That sounds like a bug (if there is invalid data like that, we should deal
with it in a better way)
It sounds like it might be easy to make a trivial test case to attach to a
bug report without using your employer's board as-is
(maybe by removing everything manually from the kicad_pcb file except f
This is the module snipped from the board file:
(module Ori:MountingHole_3.2mm_M3_ISO14580 (layer F.Cu) (tedit 59C8FBCE)
(tstamp 5AC4E91C)
(at 138.25 141.050001)
(descr "Mounting Hole 3.2mm, no annular, M3, ISO14580")
(tags "mounting hole 3.2mm no annular m3 iso14580")
(path /583
Looks like a different bug (2.9mm drill is smaller than 3.2mm pad).
I can’t reproduce it on 5.0rc2 Mac. Not sure if that’s because it’s fixed in
5.0, or it only shows up on Windows, or it’s something specific to Michael’s
setup.

I tested on Ubuntu and Windows 10 using 5.0rc2 and don't see the problem,
so I guess it has been fixed somewhere along the way.

Which version of not seeing the problem -
1. The hole is displayed
2. The hole gets dropped for the PCB file
just curious

The hole is displayed and I can select/move it.

Hi Michael,
You appear to be in Legacy graphics mode (probably still called “Default” in
4.0.7). Have you tried OpenGL or Cairo graphics mode? (Note that the modes
also change the toolsets, and are a big step up over the default/legacy
toolset.)
Cheers,
Jeff.

Hi Michael,
Odd.
FWIW, if you set the interactive router to “Highlight Collisions” mode it will
put you in the driver’s seat. (I think it then acts more like Default,
although it’s been so long since I’ve used Default I can’t remember exactly.)
Cheers,
Jeff.

I never tried to change setting on the routers, still, no better with this
bug regardless.

Do you see this bug on any other boards? If you edit the board in a text
editor to move the mounting hole, is it still invisible?
I can’t figure out why we can’t reproduce this….

Hi Michael,
Are you sure that the file you have sent to the list is the same file
you are openning in pcbnew?
It could be possible you have 2 copies of the same file in different
folders.
I can see the hole in stable and nightly versions, like anyone else but you.
Sorry I can help with a sol
I have not had any similar problems on other boards. It used to be visible
when the hole was in the upper right corner. I moved it out of the way when
I made the big cut in that corner and forgot about it (and I guess it
disappeared so you can understand the forgetting.)
I had serious trouble clos
I edited the pcb file with a text editor, moving the module around to other
locations in the file did not fix the problem, moving the pad to other
places on the board also did nothing.

If I open the board with pcbnew as a separate task, the hole is there; if I
open the board from the kicad project, the hole is not.
Could it be the path back to the schematic is corrupt and therefore opening
the board as part of the project doesn't show the hole?

I tried deleting the path from the module, no change to the results.

really should stick to Linux. I apologize for wasting everyone's time I

It gets points for one of the stranger ephemera I’ve seen, anyway….

If cypress created a Linux release for their tools I would gladly go back
to Linux. Last job was STM32 which had decent Linux support (not through
ST) and I forgot how much "fun" Windows can be.
Again sorry for the distraction.
