No footprints

According to the usage page: "...plotting them. The result is a simplified and stylized board image. However, you have to supply hand-drawn footprint images. It can also remap symbols, easily select board style and also, render resistor values color bands." If I'm looking to the examples there are footprints shown. How can I get the footprints plotted?

[Andy79881]

I've got it somehow partly working with the remap.json file. But I have to enter each component there and it is error prone. Furthermore not all footprints will be displayed even if they are already used for another reference designator.

e.g. extract fom remap.json: "R6": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R7": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R2": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R3": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering",

SVGs for RefDes R7 and R6 are displayed, for R2 and R3 not. Another issue is the wrong orientation of symbols as pin headers or SOT-23 packages. For me the whole procedure takes to much time and it is really annoying.

Could you try updating pcbdraw then running your script (ideally from git directly instead of a release). When I downloaded your SVG it looks black, even in Inkscape

Unfortunately what happened with the resistor mapping is that in previous versions of KiCAD the resistor footprint used to be called R_0805_HandSoldering but that has changed in V6. There have been discussions as to handling cases like this without going thru and renaming files, such as in #66 and https://github.com/yaqwsx/PcbDraw-Lib/issues/24

Could you send the board files if possible? It looks like it might be a bug with how components are handled when placed on the backside of the board.

Board file can be found in my github repository. I hope that you can access the file.

Additionally I have created the following remap.json file: { "R6": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R7": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R2": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R3": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R1": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R4": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "R5": "Resistor_SMD:R_0805_HandSoldering", "FB1": "Inductor_SMD:L_0805_2012Metric", "U2": "Housings_QFP:TQFP-48_7x7mm_Pitch0.5mm", "D2": "LED_SMD:LED_0603_1608Metric", "Q1": "TO_SOT_Packages_SMD:SOT-23", "C3": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "C4": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "C5": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "C6": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "C8": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "C9": "Capacitor_SMD:C_0805", "J3": "../Eagle-export:2x02", "J2": "dummy:dummy", "J4": "dummy:dummy", "D1": "../Eagle-export:SOD123"

}

I have tried to install the pcb draw under windows as follows: pip3 install git+https://github.com/yaqwsx/PcbDraw@master This works basically but I got error messages if the remap.json file is handled. After re-installing release v1.01 it works for me as before. I do not know what the issue with the git version is.

Hello, I have taken a look at your board file, and have come to the following conclusions so far:

• The reason the SOT32 is oriented wrong is because you are using the Eagle version of the footprint, in which it's orientation is different from KiCAD's. We would need to create a SOT23 drawing (or at least migrate the one from Eagle) to KiCAD. I might do that on my next drawing PR as I plan on creating some SOT related drawing such as the SOT223
• Can confirm that the pin header is flipped by 180. This also caused issue other test components when placed on the backside, such as a certain staggered LED and QFP package.

Regarding PcbDraw not working with the git version, that is bizzare to me as I am currently using the master branch codebase. Can you send the error code when you tried using the master branch?
