I want to have a function that replaces the circles of a board with non-plated through holes of the same diameter and position. I can iterate over the circles and delete them, but I don’t know how to create footprints for the through-hole pads. def circles_to_holes(board): for drawing in board.GetDrawings(): if drawing.GetShape() == pcbnew.S_CIRCLE: # footprint = pcbnew.Footprint(board) # footprint.SetPosition(drawing.GetPosition()) # footprint.S…
