Hi, yes, for hand assembly, it's good to have only what need to be mounted. But for machine pick and place, the BOM say what need to be mounted or not following the variant needed. Time for a check box ? Nevertheless this is effectively a great improvment and thanks a lot for it !

SeB30 makes a very good point to ponder. * As noted, an assembled PCB would typically have both tName and tPlace, just the part would not be installed. * Eagle's representation removes both tName and tPlace, which makes it more obvious, particularly in hand assembly of the first prototypes. And my last comment was, perhaps blindly, focused on "it's not like Eagle". My perspective today is that this version is a definite improvement by not rendering the component, while showing the pads. Whether it...

Hi, I can't wait to see this new feature. My two cents : tPlace need to be shown on not mounted parts because this is what you will get on you fabricated PCB and it will be easier to identify missing part. Best regards.

So close now - it shows the copper pads, but it also shows the tPlace. Mariusz, you are so responsive I hate to ask for more... Ideally: copper pads visible, tPlace not shown.

Hi Marni, As I gain knowledge (and use features I haven't used before), I occasionally make a new discovery. I think that is the case this time. In Eagle, I can create design variants: * Eagle Schematic | Edit | Assembly Variants... And then create a new variant or two and select a few parts to not be included in each. In a recent case, I had two different battery holders. They overlaid on the PCB, so of course only 1 can be populated at a time. With the eagle variant feature, the schematic shows...

There's one or two requests in here - 1. Update the documentation to how the component attribute 'FREECAD' is/should/can be used. 2. Consider an enhancement to that, where the attribute is appended to the base package name. Memory/Research/Details I don't recall where exactly I learned about this - freecad-pcb will look for a custom attribute 'FREECAD' associated with a component. It can then use that attribute to choose the right package - overriding the package name that would have come from Eagle....

Hi, fixed model is in attachment. This is FreeCAD's "bug" - the "compound" function does not take into account the parent node position. "Side Note on FC 0.20: I opened nearly a dozen other projects (Eagle .brd files of various complexity) and they all seem to work just fine. FreeCAD PCB does offer a message that it is only compatible with FC 0.18 and FC 0.19, which you may be able to bump to 0.20." Okay thanks. I will change that in the future.

Of hundreds of library models/components that I have, one step file does not get processed properly as a component in a project. It seems to shift the sub-parts in the model differently than the overall part. The component of interest is a small display module (a PCB of its own with components). In the same project I have a different module that is also a PCB and components, and it works ok (as have many others).

I'm using FreeCAD 0.19 and the latest FreeCAD-PCB, on Windows 10. The dialog is resizable, and the splitter bar functions, but the "hot-spot" for each is so small that it is hard to grab. Is there a possibility that the hot-spot can be made larger? Perhaps also the mouse could change appearance - to indicate when it is on the sweet-spot? Could the dialog be a bit wider, by default, to see the layer name column? Thanks!

Thank you for your ongoing help! I fixed a few component models that were not rendering, but the problem remained. I did import with the option to exclude holes, and then it renders as it should. The pcb in this model is generated not in the Eagle pcb layout directly, but from a library part which is sized to fit into a standard enclosure.

Hi Marius, I've been noodling on this - and made a mistake - I had two computers, almost identical versions of Eagle,the project of interest, and FreeCAD/FreeCAD-PCB. On the other computer it rendered correctly. As I was comparing files in the FreeCAD tree, only pyc files were actually different, and the component db.

Suggestion: in the add-on manager, can you show a version/release number to reference? The oddity today is that the PCB top/bottom layer is not visible, but everything else is, including traces, annular rings and parts. It seems quite possible that I altered a setting to cause this but I'm not sure where it would be. the "edge"...

that's interesting which arcs are responsible for that just out of curiosity, i dont think i will find them easily in the File my self. No worry take you time this is not deal breaking. Thank you for your amazing work!

Hi, thanks for the examples. I know what causes the problem and I can reproduce it. Unfortunately this is a bigger topic. I will add it to the to-do list. The error is emitted when the radius of the arc is smaller than the width of the arc. Temporarily problematic arcs will be skipped -> https://github.com/marmni/FreeCAD-PCB

When i do it with a rect istead of a trace it does not produce the error. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5yumihxkwa4ka85/AACa6PGnLpCNjh8Ye0adUrsqa?dl=0 but i think the other one should be also somthing that should work Thanks

Hi, there is no error in the console, though some testing i found the problem. it is caused by the foot print, it is a jumper with a connection in between. Unfortunaly eagle does not properly support that. Here are the test files https://www.dropbox.com/sh/roxjyunqbw7tbw0/AABD7DSw1bVss6xH6XeXIIPAa?dl=0

Hi, you should not see them :) - they are not displayed or added to the graphic view. Normally they are generated for each layer. Are there any errors in Report view or Python Console (from FC)? I think that one of te components is causing an error. Without board it will be very difficult to detect source of the problem.

Hi, one more question, is it intended that these rods are there?(i know there are for the generation of the holes) I can disable them but they are in layer 51 docu, would it not be better to have them in a differnt layer? https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fg4gkshnhkcpf3/Via.PNG?dl=0.

HI, Thank you amazing work! I dont have a problem with that, i have my models design that the origin sits on 0. This makes things mutch easyer and i dont have to ajust things. I would be nice if the models were placed on top of the Pad, so just adding the thickness of the copper layer i.e. the Pads. for 35µm it is fine but i also have often 105µm and there it becomes quite apparent. i will try out your new version, thanks! regards

Hi, Download (update) version from github -> https://github.com/marmni/FreeCAD-PCB This version will not solve your problems but will display a valid error message. It looks like some problems with the database session: /. Can you send me your * .db file (database file) - for test only. Also check the read/write permissions for the folder where you store *.db file ( by default it will be C:\Users###\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\pcb\data).

Hi, + cut holes through all layers: Fixed + detecting tented vias: Added "is there a reason why the components are placed inside the Pad, the origin is underneath the copper top layer, should it not be above?" For me, this is acceptable, if you need more precision, just change the offset values for the model. "the program just seams to lock up and the RAM is slowly increasing. And it is not a huge borad. " Unfortunately this is normal behavior.

Hi, I imported a previously complete board and got "Error partExist(): 'AttributeError' object has no attribute 'message' ' for each components.
