Component footprint error #85

Open AnnaCosty opened 4 years ago

AnnaCosty commented 4 years ago

Hi, I have noticed another bug that might be interesting to solve! (:

In the PCB layout, the footprints seem to be translated correctly but some elements of the component's footprint get translated as separate entities and don't belong to the component's footprint anymore. This happens for example to all the elements in the component's assembly, overlay, and courtyard layer. I noticed this error when I tried to move a component in the PCB layout: as visible in the 2 figures below when moving a component, only the pads got moved. This also made me realize that the link between schematic and layout is broken (the schematic symbols don't have any footprint defined).

Probably they should be converted like this (Altium -> Kicad): Assembly -> F.Fab/B.Fab. Overlay -> F.Silk/B.Silk Courtyard -> F.CrtYd, B.CrtYd

Is that a bug that happened to someone else? Do you know if there is a work-around for avoiding it? Thanks for your help!
