Tagging this as software rather than layout as it has to do with the pcbnew Python library.
I have a board that has a test point at (87.15, -10.75) relative to the drill/place and grid origin. I have the PCB editor preferences set to use drill/place file origin as the display origin.
When working on some scripting, I noticed that the GetPosition() function for a footprint uses the page origin, while the board uses the drill/place origin.
>>> tp0.GetPosition()
VECTOR2I(175550000, 112750000)
>>> board.GetPosition()
VECTOR2I(0, 0)
I’ve found a workaround to get my test point’s position relative to the drill/place origin using BOARD.GetDesignSettings and BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS.GetAuxOrigin, but I wanted to ask if this was an intentional design decision.
