Incorrect gerber conversion

Layout

I’m trying to transfer a small gerber file from the viewer to a printed circuit board, and I’m getting an incomprehensible result… Is this a bug in the viewer or the board editor?

Looks like a bug in the converter.

Are we opening an issue on gitlab?

Yes, open an issue on gitlab.

I need your help… When opening a request for this problem, the gitlab bot closes it… The second problem is related to another error, but it is not fixed and cannot be reopened… 7.0 gives custom-shaped-pads-with-circular-anchors 45° spokes while 6.0 gave them 90° spokes (#15518) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
I see this fix in the code but it doesn’t work
I tested on the latest test builds of win64\10 and Ubuntu

“sensor.zip” and “Sens.zip” files from the issue were saved in 7.0.
You need to re-open the original 6.0 files, as Jeff told you in the issue.

Because the formatting on your version info was wrong. There’s an extra character:

And it should be put between the backticks (sometimes the bot can do it by itself):

```
<copy version info here>
```

I see now. You should’ve added the new info to (#15518) and reopened it.

Yes, I did that, but when I save and re-open it in version seven, it breaks from 90 to 45
Now it breaks them not when checking, but when saving)))
Thank you

I’ve added a fix to 7.0 branch.

11

thanks, I’ll test it

I have 2 questions
1 Can I send error reports, for example, to mail without stupid GitLab? Or private messages?
2 Is ngspice 41 expected in version 7.0.8?

There’s a link at the bottom of the issues page to mail an issue.
But the mail still has to contain the proper full version info and description. Gitlab is more convenient.

Yes
