[Kicad-developers] Move point on pcbnew

2017-05-03 Thread Carlo Maragno
Hi Guys, While I was using an old developer version of Kicad (the build date was 28-2-2017), in pcbnew the move tool would grab the component from the point closer to the cursor when M was pressed. In other word, if the cursor was closer to a pad the center of the pad would become the grabbing poi

It used to be that kicad was too sensitive to pads and it would almost never use the anchor in smaller components, now it works much better. I don't see anything needing to be fixed. Could you show a test case where it doesn't behave correctly and file a bug on launchpad? Just reverting whatever ch

Hi Carlo, Which revision do you use? I have just built the master branch (096d9fbb) and I am still able to drag footprints either by the anchor or pads. Regards, Orson On 05/03/2017 10:15 PM, Carlo Maragno wrote: > Hi Guys, > > While I was using an old developer version of Kicad (the build date

Hi there, I done some tests, including a full system wipe and the behavior is still the same. I tried to compile 096d9f & c70adc and I got similar results. In the attachments you can find two video: the kicad_bug one was done with 096d9f while the kicad_working one was done on 7034ea. Cheers, Ca

Oh, now I see what you mean. There is a slight difference between the steps we perform to drag a component by its pad. You select a pad and start to drag it, and I select a whole footprint and drag starting near a pad. Regards, Orson On 05/05/2017 05:36 PM, Carlo Maragno wrote: > Too bad! Here yo

I was about to explode, but then noticed that if I select the whole footprint then the MOVE (press M) snaps to the closest point, either center of footprint or center of pad. However, if I selected a pad without selecting the footprint and then pressed M, then it would snap to the center of the fo
