I have pinpointed the problem to a Duplicate call - it returns a BOARD_ITEM that does not have SetNetCode method, not a PCB_TRACK as expected.

Altering the duplication to cast - new_track = track.Duplicate().Cast() makes it work.

Thanks for reporting and a solution. This is probably due to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/14460.

As I use Duplicate also for zones, text and drawings, this will have to be check a bit more thoroughly. And I'll have to think about how to implement the fix so the plugin will be compatible with pre and post 7.0.2 python bindings

Which is the newest version of KiCad where does the ReplicateLayout work?

MitjaNemec commented 1 year ago

The 2.x.y versions of the plugin should work wit 7.0.1

@BrMisha 7.0.0

First of all, thanks for reporting this.

As it turns out this is due to a bug in KiCad. It got introduce just before the 7.0.2 release with 8e579ec8 and got fixed just after the 7.0.2 was tagged in 7843e6a7.

Anyhow, the fix for this is in 2.0.12 release, which is available for installation from file and should be available in PCM in a couple of days.
