How could the copper item error?

I want to add a OSHW-Logo2_7.3x6mm_Copper to my pcb board as:


But After i add this copper item, DRC is failed as:

How could this happen?

these erros are:

Because the design is Open Source anyways you could attach it here or give a link.

sure.I atatch my files here.uartdbg.kicad_pcb (189.6 KB) uartdbg.sch (15.8 KB) uartdbg.pro (4.2 KB)
:smile:

Please zip the whole project. Separating the files isn’t good, it requires several downloads, and what’s more important, something may be missing.

EDIT: although in this case the .kicad_pcb file may be enough.

hardware.zip (1.1 MB)
these are the hardware project files.

It’s some interesting bug. Open the RMB menu on one of those errors. Select the Graphic polygon from there. The copper is selected but the white corner points for editing are in the left corner on the pad6 of the USB connector.

I downloaded the uartdbg.kicad_pcb and opened it in KiCad / Pcbnew, and can reproduce these 3 errors.

Weird thing is, if I move the whole PCB to the center of the drawing area the DRC errors go away.

that’s true :+1: . But how could this happen? Is it a BUG ?

That’s what I said. :slight_smile:

This doesn’t happen in 5.99 (the unstable development version).

Oh, I use the version 5.1.8-5.fc32

The whole version info is:

I’ve been moving the PCB a bit around (0, 0) and it looks like the error related to the the grey outline that is the border of the sheet size.

Then I opened a random project of my own and moved the whole PCB to around (0,0) and it also generates a bunch of DRC errors there.
In the screenshot below, the light grey lines (with corner near the rounded square GND pad) is from the paper border.

Oh, whether should we place pcb inline the paper broder. rather place it at will.:slightly_frowning_face:

Is this a rounding problem with right on the limit clearances? Moving the whole job around on the screen might affect this

I just tested in v5.1.10 and it is the same behavior, DRC errors until moved around…

Application: Pcbnew
Version: (5.1.10)-1, release build

    wxWidgets 3.0.5

    BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
    KICAD_USE_OCE=ON
    KICAD_USE_OCC=OFF
    KICAD_SPICE=ON

It’s not just DRC errors until moved around.
It’s DRC errors very close to coordinate (0, 0)

Time for someone is raise a report on this. There is already a pre-5.1.11

I hereby donate a simplified example.
