Rounded rectangle SMD pads are imported as oval pads #66

Closed cdwijs closed 3 years ago

cdwijs commented 5 years ago

I have used SMD resisters in Altium that are made from Rounded Rectangle. These are incorrectly imported as oval pads.

cdwijs commented 5 years ago

I was unable to upload my zip file with the Altium file, the Kicad file and the screenshot. therefore I've put it here, it can be downloaded within 30 days: https://ufile.io/417ig

In the directory Root Entry/Pads6 there are 4 files: Data.dat Data.dat.bin Header.dat Header.dat.bin The file Data.dat.txt is missing. This means I don't have a list of properties in the Altium file about the pads. Why is this file missing? How can I generate it?

And the real question I am trying to answer: What variable holds the data that I need to create a rounded rectangle pad in Kicad? The variable missing is roundrect_rratio: (pad 2 smd roundrect (at 0 -1.125 90) (size 1.15 1.3) (layers F.Cu F.Paste F.Mask) (roundrect_rratio 0.25))

Cheers, Cedric

I've made an Altium file with pads with Rounded Rectangle with various Corner Radius. I can't see any change between the pads in the file pads.txt. Time to dig deeper :-)
