Uhmm... that's new for me... I have the RAST card edge connector which are *defined* by the PCB cuts and I remember that they are defined in the module. Maybe it's a restriction added later to avoid some issue? > internal cuts and specify that they should be on the edge cuts layer, so if > drawings are allowed on the edge cuts layer you can include non-plated > and/or non-circular mounting holes in the footprint. Also: card edge connectors and holes for reverse-mounted connectors (rare, but I used them).

Probably there is a good reason for the check... maybe some interaction from the zone filler and/or SPECCTRA (which is kinda picky with card edges...). -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
