kSU export - random component displaced to origin

External Plugins
1

I am running Kicad 9.0.4 and Freecad 1.0.2 with kSU 12.7.1

I am new to both Freecad and kSU. I just followed general discussions to begin using kSU.

I opened kicad_pcb in FC and doing nothing else, I selected ‘All’ and exported to iges. While everything else is perfect in the iges, one component is displaced from place on board to 3d origin.

I repeated the exercise with another kicad_pcb and this time I observed the same happen again. But only this time, component which displaced had 3 repetitions, so all the four parts were displaced to origin.

This happening appears random. I have tried exporting in different formats, but all formats show the exact same displacement.

Am I missing something ? What I need to do so that kSU export complete PCB ? Or is it a bug ?

Hi, this could simply be a FreeCAD issue, more than a kSU issue.

It could also depend on FC export settings.

Anyway I would suggest you to export to STEP format instead of iges, which is a more recent standard.

This can also be done with KiCAD directly.
