Platform: Linux 5.4.0-51-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK So a part of a workaround is to export your image in the right size from your other CAD program.ĭo you have a link to the info you found about this bug? One is the truncation to whole millimeters, and the other is that line widths are scaled diferently when importing scaled DXF files. Based on your preferred operating system the screen might look like one of the followings: LibreCAD on GNU/Linux (GNOME 3) LibreCAD on Windows. It looks like there are 2 overlapping bugs. When you start LibreCAD the main window appears on your screen, showing the GUI (the Graphical User Interface). I had some questions I wanted to get resolved and the only way I kn. Use your modified footprint in a normal project.Īn alternative route would be to work with FreeCAD and the KicadStepUp workbench, but that has a learning curve of it’s own. As I have said several times before, I am learning LibreCAD while I create these videos.Make a new footprint with your logo in this project.Create a new Footprint Library in this project.It has the same line width problem though.Ĭurrently the best workaround to me looks like: I can also import it in the Footprint editor with:įootprint Editor / File / Import Outlines from DXF FileĮven though it says “outline” in the menu, I can still import on F.SilkS. By also searching for the parentheses and layer name, you get less false positives with the search. The line width was changed to 1.232mm after a save and open in KiCad. kicad_pcb file in a text editor and did a search and replace operation:Īnd it seems to work. So there is something fishy going on here.Īfter that I opened the. The fat lines are imported as 200.4 mm width, which results in 2mm on the PCB. I also imported it twice at a scale of 0.1 WxWidgets: 3.0.4 (wchar_t,STL containers,compatible with 2.8)Īs you can see, I can import with different line widths, but it seems to be truncated to whole millimeters. Platform: macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6 (Build 17G6030), 64 bit, Little endian, wxMac I can drag select them but then I cannot ‘E’ edit the properties. Is the line width feature broken on LibreCAD 2.2. a length of 1 will result in a total length of 2 units. Tick size: Length of dimension tick to from end of dimension line in each direction, e.g. Dimension lines, arrows and ticks: Arrow size: Length of dimension (and leader) arrow. Width: Extension line width, independent of layer settings. I am unable to select individual line segments by clicking and anyway there are many many of those. You might also need to adjust the value of Current Drawing Preferences -> Dimensions -> General. Extension line color, independent of layer settings. Ok, so how can I workaround this bug, how can I set the line width after importing the DXF file? The attributes can be changed with the Attribute tool.Hi, when I import my DXF file into F.Silk layer it appears that the line width setting in the import dialog is ignored and the line width is extremely thin.Īccording to what I’ve read this is a bug. Blocks with the attributes set to “By Block” will initially adopt the attributes assigned to the layer.The block’s attributes will change if the layer’s attributes are changed.
Blocks with the attributes set to “By Layer” will adopt the attributes of the layer they are inserted in to.A4 is 297 x 210 mm so if we make the 5000 mm be shown as a 250 mm long line wed be set. The block needs to be edited to change any of the attributes. It introduces quite a few LibreCAD concepts, and links to other pages that explain these. off profiles in the Styles browser so that all the lines are same width. color set to blue, width set to 0.18 mm, etc) will retain those attributes when inserted into a drawing. The lines in an imported CAD file often dont connect to form SketchUp faces. In addition to the specific attributes, pen attributes (Color, Width, Line Type) also include “By Layer” and “By Block”. Pay particular attention to the Attributes when creating blocks. Generally layer “0” should only be used when creating blocks and should be the only layer in a drawing for a block. The block needs to be edited to change any of the attributes. color set to blue, width set to 0.18 mm, etc) will retain those attributes when inserted into a drawing. More importantly in the context of blocks, it is equivalent to “no layer”, similar in the way that color “By Block” is equal to “no specified color” or line type “By Block” is equal to “no specified line type”. In addition to the specific attributes, pen attributes (Color, Width, Line Type) also include By Layer and By Block. It is the default layer for new drawings.
