Hello all,
So I am having an issue printing my schematics with a custom template. I have designed a custom template for the worksheet, and everything has been working great until within the last month or two. Since then, when I try to print my schematic sheet, it only shows a small part of the template, ie the custom bitmap, and 2 or 3 vertical bars that separate the title block. So the circuit itself doesn’t even show up, it is just a blank sheet with a logo and a few lines. If I remove the template, the schematic prints just fine, however, I work in a professional office, where documentation is important, so I need the template. I have found a work around using the plotter tool, and that can print the schematic with the template just fine, I just have to change the name of the document manually after generation. This isn’t a big deal, but the problem remains that the print function doesn’t work as it should, so I can’t print directly from KiCad. I have to plot the PDF, then open a PDF reader and print from there, which is a hassle.
I have been running the nightly builds on Linux Mint 19, but I dropped back to stable a few days ago to see if that would resolve the issue with printing, and another issue with the interactive BoM plugin, but no dice. Of course, when I decided to drop back was with the most recent stable release of 5.1.0, so it probably wasn’t going to be as helpful as I hoped. I have also tested this on multiple machines, all running nightly on Linux Mint 19.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this or should I submit a bug report? All help is appreciated.
