Re: [kicad-users] Re: Problem exporting DXF format

2010-03-12 Thread Gilles Teisseire
Hi,

Distances between pins should'nt be 100 mils? (standard 2,54 mm)
In this case there is an issue in the DXF export (distances between pins 
are 1000 mils)

The button Inches/mm (in export window) only affects the drilling 
symbols legend at the bottom of drawing.

I found a way to scale the imported DXF file by a factor 0,1 in Solidworks.
This workaround works for me.

Thanks for your help

GT

 Hi,
 i'm set mm format , the distance betwen pin (2.54mm) are always 1000 ,
 then you must scale to factor 0.00254 your drawing to use in mm .
 Best regards

   holes dimensions
   So, i've tried a new export (selecting inches for holes 
 dimensions) and
   open it selecting mils unit in Solidworks.
   I still have a scaling issue with factor of 10. (what should be 
 2,54mm
   is 25,4 in solidworks)

 KiCad exports the DXF with values in mils, but DXF's should be 
 inches
 or mm. Hence the scale is out by a factor of 1000. I have stumbled
 across this in the past.

[kicad-users] Problem exporting DXF format

2010-03-11 Thread Gilles Teisseire
Bonjour,

I'm using Kicad RC5, Ubuntu 9.10.
I've tried to export drill file in DXF format.
Whatever the choice of inches or millimeter in export window, i've got 
the same issue:

When I try to open the .DXF file with Solidworks the scale is wrong. (by 
a factor of 1000).

I don't know if it's a solidworks or kicad issue.
Can anyone confirm it's a Kicad Bug?

Merci.
