Wrong placement in eagle #8

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I followed the youtube tutorial but after pasting the code in eagle, the polygons are not in the location as I placed it in inkscape. The placement preview on the generator page looks correct. All units are set to mm. Is that a known issue?

Thanks

I just tried it again here and it works fine for me.

Could you post up your svg file along with a screenshot of what happens in eagle vs what you're expecting?

I was able to move the imported polygons by hand, so it's a minor issue. SVG: https://www.file-upload.net/download-13473047/spwm_pot_led.svg.html Screenshot (marked red was imported): https://s15.directupload.net/images/190117/oabbfmw2.png

Also, for some reason, this feature totally wrecks my eagle client and makes the window infinitely wide.

Ahh - thanks. That's interesting...

Looks like your zero coordinate marker is top left - usually it's bottom left (which is the same as Inkscape which makes it nice and easy). In the Eagle versions I've used thus far, all but the super pro versions refuse to put anything below the coordinate marker so most people arrange their boards with 0,0 in the bottom left.

Maybe it's different in newer versions (it was a weird restriction).

But svgtoeagle doesn't know how your board is set up in eagle, so all I can suggest is to move the whole board so 0,0 is in the bottom left then you'll be sorted.

Ah, that makes sense! I actually created the pcb in Fusion and payed no attention to where the origin is. Thanks for pointing that out!
