I can add the rc3 tag to the library repos sometime Sunday afternoon. (central European time) A few minor corrections would still be nice to get into v5 but we do not have any deal-breaker that would merit postponing v5 from our side. On 23/06/18 17:15, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: Let's try to get

Hi, Is there anything in the schematic rescue or parsing code to handle the change in valid characters (removal of ':' and '/')? An internal translation when reading a pre v5 symbol or library that translates all ':' to '' and '/' to '', would save the few miserable people who will get

​Andrzej- I would prefer that this be fixed when reading the malformed file, not displaying.​ We fix it there, the display issue goes away. This also protects from unintended side effects rather than trying to code work arounds for a malformed board in multiple parts of the code. -S Am Sa.,

When you generate gerbers from a valid NPTH pad with hole size = pad size, there will be no shape plotted on copper layers, so in my opinion, this pad does not exist on copper layers. But this is more philosophical discussion :) Regarding clearance for router, you could just take the merged

Is this malformed pad actually caused by KiCad or is it possible this was cause by a script or manual editing? If it was caused by KiCad then we need to figure out how this was allowed to happen and fix it. Wayne On 06/23/2018 02:54 AM, jp charras wrote: > Le 22/06/2018 à 21:54, Andrzej Wolski
