I would love a copy of your design for testing at some point, but I believethat I have fixed the problem you encountered. You apparently have a component shape (maybe a deMorgan equivalent) that has no drawing items (kipy doesn't consider pins to be drawing items, just rects, polylines, circles, arcs), so when kipy went to calculate a bounding rectangle for the part, it came up empty-handed. My hack to fix this was to seed the bounding rectangle coordinate list with (0,0) which will only cause the final rectangle to get bigger if someone designs their part well away from the origin. Pleasesvn up and let me know how it works for you.

Pat
