Re: Odd board

 

This is the module snipped from the board file:

  (module Ori:MountingHole_3.2mm_M3_ISO14580 (layer F.Cu) (tedit 59C8FBCE)
(tstamp 5AC4E91C)
    (at 138.25 141.050001)
    (descr "Mounting Hole 3.2mm, no annular, M3, ISO14580")
    (tags "mounting hole 3.2mm no annular m3 iso14580")
    (path /583B5C0A)
    (fp_text reference M1 (at 0 -3.75) (layer F.SilkS) hide
      (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
    )
    (fp_text value "M3_Mounting Hole" (at 0 3.75) (layer F.Fab)
      (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
    )
    (fp_circle (center 0 0) (end 2.75 0) (layer Cmts.User) (width 0.15))
    (fp_circle (center 0 0) (end 3 0) (layer F.CrtYd) (width 0.05))
    (pad "" np_thru_hole circle (at 0 0) (size 3.2 3.2) (drill 2.9) (layers
*.Cu *.Mask)
      (clearance 2))
  )

I am using 4.0.7 under Windows 10, if you decode this is the known bug I
sincerely apologize for having wasted your time.  I did not see a bug that
I thought was the same thing.  If not, I will mail it to any and all of you
to look at.  I won't obfuscate, I'd be afraid to disturb the problem.  I
see no real problem sharing the board with Kicad developers but can also
understand why my employer is not keen to have our boards posted on the
internet.

Cheers
Mike
