Hello,
I was used to kicad5 and I am doing my 1rst project with Kicad7 (7.0.6)
I try to use the Sierra circuit plugin but I have this error
The DRC in kicad doesn’t show any error
Any idea what I should look ?
Thank you
Christophe

Maybe you included the solder paste layer twice in the zip file, perhaps once as an older name. Do you really need solder paste layer? Are you getting it assembled by them?
Look at what you sent them by using Gerber Viewer. Unzip the zip file to a new folder, load all the files into Gerber Viewer, as you identify each layer with certainty, e.g. top copper, untick it so it can no longer be seen. If you do indeed have an extra solder paste layer you can remove it from the zip file and re-send it.
If you do indeed have an extra solder paste layer, then try to find out what setting in KiCad caused that duplicate layer in the first place. It may be some setting, but also a bug in either the Sierra plugin or in KiCad itself.
I have only one paste layer, the front one, no other file name contains the ‘paste’ word
I sent Sierra the log file of their plugin, hope hey will answer quickly
We fix it but it is strange.
I had to change the name of my project, the one not working was not working was :
ESP32 CPRO3 Encoder Simulator
The one working is :
Encoder Simulator
Not sure why the first one is not working, too much space in the name ?
You could extract both version in separate directories, and then use a source code comparison program like http://meldmerge.org/ to check for differences.
I did the compare the day they gave me the solution and the only change was the name of the file
