PB's with created footprint

[Malecki_gerard]

Hello,

I created two footprints, one for smd capacitors and one for SMD resistors. No worries with the capacitor footprint; but error message for the resistance footprint. For them its similar.
Attached are the 2 files of footprint

why?

I made a little test project with your resistor and capacitor in KiCad-nightly V5.99 and I had no problems whatsoever.

Even DRC runs just fine.
Here is the project:

My french is quite horrible, but I’m guessing some kind of zone is defined wrongly on your PCB because it’s not a “closed outline” and the problem is not caused by any of these two footprints.

I did see a few irregularities:

• The footprints do not have any graphics on the courtyard layer.
• The Resistor lines on the Silkscreen do not have perfectly matching endpoints in one corner. (Upper left in the library)
• The Resistors has a bit of a slanted side. (Right side in library)

Setting the grid to some appropriate value makes drawing lines for footprints easier.

Before I ask anything here or report a bug I switch KiCad to English. I believe much more people will understand me than if I ask about messages from the Polish version.
