| Subject: | [pcb-rnd] geda/pcb save bugifx: pads (please test) |
Hi all, a new user reported a bug: - only our geda/pcb save was affected (that's the old board format we shouldn't really use) - only when pcb-rnd saved a file into that old format - smd pads could end up misaligned, depending on rotation Bonus: the code didn't even try to export non-axis-aligned SMD pads, so if you rotated a 1206 by 45 degree, it didn't work when saving to geda/pcb board format. I've fixed these by r34378. If you are still using the old pcb format in the "save as" direction, please test all your smd pads! NOTE: because of a design error in the old geda/pcb file format, square (or close-to-square) pads will break with any non-axis-aligned rotation. We can't fix it, it's a really a bug in the file format. Even funnier: geda/pcb introduced a new, pad-center description format lately. But this fails to fix this problem: 1. geda/pcb won't save pads with this syntax, only loads 2. this new syntax introduces a new design error: it lacks pad rotation; so even if geda/pcb could save in this syntax, it would break on non-square pads when rotated non-90-degrees, which would make it even buggier than the original, line based syntax. Best regards, Igor2
