Potentiometer_Omeg_PC16BU_Vertical wrong pad number #1583

Closed McColson closed 5 years ago

Hello,

I think the footprint of 'Potentiometer_Omeg_PC16BU_Vertical' has a problem with the pad number. In fact, the number 1 and 3 are interverted. The Silkscreen is on the front layer, so the pin 3 should be at the bottom of the picture.

I believe this is covered by https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-footprints/issues/188. Please confirm and, if so, close this issue. I would like to see this all resolved for v6, but since it will (may?) be a breaking change it won't happen in the near future.

Hi, I'm not totally sure to understand well the #188 but, in the picture here : https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1936989/35872082-bc1a3ae4-0b1a-11e8-8780-868674a6d77e.png The ALPS at the left of the omeg footprint is good, the pin numbers are correct (compare to the symbol of a potentiometer in a Kicad's schematic), the omeg isn't. Maybe it's that you call the CW or CCW markings problem ?

To make generic symbols the pin numbers of each individual part aren't considered.

That being said, the pin numbers aren't consistent or namely intuitively in KiCad at this time.

Ok thanks you for your reply. I close the issue.
