Re: [Kicad-developers] RFC: position file changes

My preference is to define a reference position parameter for the footprint this way it could be any position the user chooses. There may be reasons to use values other than pin 1 or the center of the footprint. That one part that never seems to auto insert correctly comes to mind. If you've

Re: [Kicad-developers] RFC: position file changes

I will look into this; we can name any unreserved footprint property as "RefPin" (do we translate it?) and if the pin exists then we can generate the PinX PinY values in the centroid. The issue now is when do we output PinX, PinY columns and how do we handle the case where a user may have

Re: [Kicad-developers] RFC: position file changes

Hi Eldar, The problem I have is that different standards have different orientations. Even IPC now have "Orientation Level A", which is what is described in 7351B, and another one where Pin 1 is in what the EIA packaging standards call "Quadrant 3" (bottom left). The EIA specification in turn
