I hereby certify that I am not simply asking someone else to design a footprint for me.
This is an auto-generated message that is in place on the “footprints” section of the KiCad.info forum. If I remove it and ask for a footprint to be designed anyway, I understand that I will be subject to forum members telling me to go design my own footprint or referring me to a 3rd party footprint site.
I’ve got a strange issue which has me pulling out my hair.
I’ve downloaded a project from github and adding a few extra components. The problem is when I place a jumper with footprint Jumper:SolderJumper-3_P1.3mm_Open_RoundedPad1.0x1.5mm
and run DRC I get:
I’ve removed all of the components from the circuit except the jumper to simplify things. I can’t really understand why this error is occurring.
If I create a new project and place this footprint I don’t have this issue so there can’t be a problem with the Kicad footprint.
I then though it must be some setting in the board setup design rules, but I have compared them for this project and the new working project and they are the same.

I must be missing something simple.
