KiCAD 6.0.0 Foot Print Editor: Radius and Center conflict on X axis

Layout
1

KiCAD 6.0.0
I’m designing the footprint of LORLIN rotary switch: 4 ways 3 positions.
I’m drafting the construction lines for the correct positioning of the elements.

I drafted circles radius 3.85mm and one of them is positioned on X axis at 3.85 as well.
But KiCAD thinks that it has radius 0 while it isn’t.

The radius is 3.85mm ON TOP of the 3.85mm positioned on X axis.
Please check the animated GIF here below

Where am I wrong?

This looks like a bug.

I added into the tile and text. It’s the 6.0.0

Sorry, I missed that. Anyways I cannot confirm. Can you attach the zipped project?

Indeed, I added after you asked :slight_smile: so, it’s not your fault.

Please here the attachment (it’s not completed. I’m drawing it)

I’m a little sloppy today. I tested this in pcbnew and I could not confirm.
Now I tested it in the footprint editor: bug confirmed.
It’s only the cirlcle to the right. And any radius. I tested 4 and 5 mm, same error.
circles to the N, W, S work ok.
So this seems to be a bug worth of being filed in the bug tracker.

I can confirm for (6.0.0-rc2-14-ga17a58203b) and for nightly (6.99.0).
reproduces for every case where:

  • y = 0.0
  • x > 0
  • radius == x

Confirmed for 6.0.0 release build as well

I did it. Now let’s whait the 2023 for the version v7.0 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

11

My bet would be some 3-4 days. For bug resolution, not for V7 :rofl:

12

Ok I hope so, since there still 6.0.0 as official release :slight_smile: And it’s not without bugs :- :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
