Yes, it works at night, but only half of the test ones

FYI, the fixes are now in the latest testing build (7.0.7.rc1)

51

Yes, I checked it works, thanks!

Continuing the topic about the missing part of the component in the paste layer … I tested the last test assembly and there the component appeared on the board in the paste layer but disappeared from the gerberas during generation

What a lovely spelling mistake! Without it I wouldn’t have known that they both got their names from the same proper name.

This looks like an old PCB file:

Re-import the .PcbDoc file in 7.0.7.rc1 version (just tested).

I apologize for the translation) I will try to show in pictures

Open our altium board from the test 2 folder in the board editor, do you see everything in order? Now save it in kicad format and open again the result in the picture

Converter breaks when choosing save as in PCB editor

60

Do you understand the procedure for adding this error ?
The converter opens everything correctly but saves with an error

61

Yes, I see it. Thanks for noticing!

Fix pushed __________

Will we have time for a stable 7,0,7?

64

I think 7.0.7 is already frozen, new bugfixes will go to 7.0.8 later.

65

This one went in as it was a regression from 7.0.6

66

what about defining layers on multilayer boards? when converting, some of the layers are reassigned … to be more precise, the importer does not understand them and adds them to the user one … is it possible to correct the definition at all?

67

Please create an issue on GitLab for this, with your board (or another example board) attached.

68

Is this generally considered a bug? Because there are no such layers in the kicad and in any case it transfers it to the user
did you notice a message during conversion that layer 70 or 71 will be moved to another one?
