Hi,
When trying to import a DXF file as a graphics for footprint creation, the circles are not perfectly round and become ellipses, how to fix it? I tried on Altium and it works well (no shape modification).
Here is the result of importing a coil.
Thanks.
I have seen imported arcs from DXF files without any problem, and arc’s don’t have much information in them that would allow them to be interpreted in another way. I am guessing that your DXF has some kind of (bezier?) curve that approximates arcs.
For further diagnosis, it may help if you create a simpler graphics (with for example only a single turn) and then post that file, together with a screenshot of how it looks in the original program, and how it looks in KiCad.
If you’d like someone to help you fix this issue, you’d need to attach the dxf file in question (ideally to a bug report)
Alternatively, since it works as expected on Altium, you could import the Altium file but this won’t help the next person
