Replicate layout pluign: can't find destination sheets #132

Hi, I try to run Replicate layout plugin in Kicad version (5.1.5)-3. I tried Kicad (5.1.5)-3 and (5.1.9)-1, but the problem still exists.

I built 4 simple circuits. In pcbnew, I selected a part (C1) from source section, run Replicate layout plugin, and encounter the problem: it shows only source hierarchy level file, but there's no destination sheet, even though I clicked or double clicked "file60BDF436.sch"

After I clicked the "Ok" button, there's no any action happend.

Did anyone encounter this problem, too? How to solve it?

Did you save the schematics before running the plugin?

Yes, I did save the schematic before running the plugin.

Hmmm,

  1. can you deselect and select the item in source hierarchy level. I've had some changes here and I don't recall testing it with such a simple project.
  2. Would you mind sharing the project?
  3. Would you mind updating your KiCad installation? I am always testing the plugin against only the latest KiCad version

Thanks for your reply. Here's my project file. test_05.zip

I have tried running place footprints plugin in Kicad (5.1.5)-3 and (5.1.9)-1, it work well. But in both Kicad (5.1.5)-3 and (5.1.9)-1, Replicate layout pluign doesn't work.

No, the issue still exists. Do you know how to solve it?

MitjaNemec commented 3 years ago

You did update the plugin with the latest version? If you did, can you attach the latest replicate_layout.log file that should be in your project folder. I could reproduce the issue with your project, and I've implemented a solution which worked on my side. It could be that the issue is also OS specific (I am on Kubuntu 20.04)

I update the plugin with the last version, and the issue is solved now (on Kicad (5.1.5)-3 / Windows 10).

I really appreciate your patience, reply, and support!
