Back to weird offset in PCB view
Hi;
I think we worked this problem before, but its back. I went through my notes carefully, and don't think I'm repeating any past mistakes.
I found the dimensions in the DB9 part I created weren't quite right, so I went back to my original Inkscape pcb-view file and corrected them. I then tried two things. 1) I just went in to parts-editor to edit my old part by just loading in the new file (probably not a good approach, I know). 2) I then re-created a new part from the various .svg files (all saved in plain SVG).
In both cases the 9 connector pin "red rectangle" positions are uniformly way offset from the copper circles. I'm mailing the exported part to info@fritzing.org.
thanks,
Don
Hi;
I found the answer in a response from Jonathan that I forgot to print out to save in my hardcopy notes. You need to manually edit the .svg to "create a new g element surrounding the circle element, and move the transform attribute out of the circle element and into the g element."
But as Jonathan phrased it, this means the bug still exists. I noticed that in creating the original .svg in inkscape my large mounting holes came out as paths rather than circles. What's interesting is that the path groups did _not_ have the transform / offset problem that the circles do.
cheers,
Don
Turns out to be a different bug with a similar outcome. Will be fixed in the next release.
