![]() In ksuconfig.ini I have placement = usegridorigin. Third attempt with a centered grid origin again gave a medium large offset. Then I tried grid origin in the upper left corner, but got a large offset. That lead to a 1.6 mm offset in both x and y plane after the exchange back and forth. In the first attempt I centered the grid origin in Pcbnew. I tried doing as instructed, however it seems to be sensitive to where grid origin is placed. (I found the board edge is conveniently placed at the very end of the PCBnew file so it is very easy to do these edits in a text editor). Edit the PCBnew file that now has the updated edge with a text editor and replace everything except the PCB edge with the information from the original renamed PCBnew file. Save it and push the edge back to the blank PCBnew file. Import that into FreeCad and copy the sketch of the saved FreeCad file that has the board outline with the constraints to replace the original blank sketch and edit it to your liking. ![]() Let KiCad create a new blank pcbnew file. What has worked for me without producing an offset is a manual procedure: Rename/make backup of the edited Pcbnew file. I am not sure I understand the last point, which could be my problem: Were in KiCad are one to set a PCB file static design reference to the preferred choice Grid Origin? Does that differ from the default setting? ![]() However when I do that I am getting an offset in the position of the PCB edge. As I understand from the above, what you want to do to update the PCB edge is to re-import the board into FreeCad with StepUp, and replace the sketch in that imported file with the original saved one with the constraints. Thanks so much maui for providing these great utilities. I am making very good use of StepUp these days in my current project. ![]()
