Component Placement by OneKiwiTech - issues

Habibi · March 13, 2024, 4:16pm

Hello,

I installed onekiwitech’s Component Placement plugin, looks to be just what I am looking for.

Unfortunately I get an error message when selecting the plugin “Exception on python action plugin code”

Stating a few things, in particular "AttributeError: ‘FOOTPRINT’ object has no attribute ‘GetProperties’.

I was wondering if anyone else uses this plugin and has worked through this issue before?

Thank you

It works on v7, so pressumably it has not been updated yet.

Sorry - if I had looked thoroughly I would have spotted the update myself.
