Save/restore "index out of range"

[Checcoraffa]

Hello,

I am using Kicad 5.1.10 and when I use the save/restore layout plugin I get the above error "index out of range". The replicate_layout plugin does work well for me, so I don't know what is the issue. The log file is the following:

Solved. It was due to a dodgy component with pads not numbered correctly

Thanks for reporting, and solving the issue all by yourself. As I try to make the plugin as robust as I can, I'd appreciate if you could share the project with the dodgy symbol/footprint in place, so that I might be able to test for this in the future (if I find the time)

Dear Mitja,

I won't be able to share the files, because it contains some sensitive information.

However the issue was that I had inherited the circuit from someone else and they had not correctly linked the schematic symbol with the PCB footprint. The schematic symbol was a QFN type part with a ground pad in the centre. In the footprint this pad was missing and it had been added manually. I believe that the "list index out of range" error (or similar) was due to the fact that the index number was different between schematic and layout such that the array index had gone beyond the array size.

So I conclude that the plugin itself is very solid, provided that the schematic and layout are done correctly, which was not the case in my first attempt.

Kind regards, Francesco
