I also saw it. Looks like a unit issue. For an historical reason, offset is given in inch. Seems the conversion to internal units is not good. To see this issue, just edit a 3d shape parameters of any footprint on a board. If you want an offset = 0.1 inch (easy to test with a DIP package), you need to enter 0.1/25.4 -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
