Strange panel gerber output
I panelized a PCB. The panel has rails and mouse bites. I added panel fiducials and stencil alignment holes to the rails. When I look at the gerber file, there are rail fiducials and alignment holes beyond the panel margins. Why is this happening? Also is it possible to have a negative offset for th...

Make the Attaching Patterns import dialog resizable
When importing a schematic from another program, KiCad for example, it would be really nice if the Attaching Patterns dialog box was resizable. This would allow having a full view of the pattern names and pattern library paths.

Re: Net Port confusion
Issue resolved. I had to remove any ports with that name and start from scratch. I created my own ports in a library with the same name as the target net. For generic netport assignments, I discovered that I had to first assign a name to the netport the is the same as the net it will be connected to...

In this picture I am trying to connect a net port to one of the pins of a potentiometer. When I do this, I get this error. What exactly does this error mean? I have tried creating a net po...

Single Pin In Net error
When I try to validate my schematic I am getting this error. I tried removing the net and reconstructing it, but the error will not go away. What does this error mean?
I want the net to connect to ground.

Re: Kicad schematic import grid settings
I was able to get everything lined up by switching to a 0.635mm grid, selecting the entire sheet, and moving up 1 and left 1. Then I changed the grid back to 1.27mm

Kicad schematic import grid settings
I imported a Kicad 8 schematic into DipTrace 5 and all the parts and wires are snapped to a 0.635 grid, even though the Diptrace grid size is 1.27mm.
Is there a problem with changing the grid size to 0.635 so that any wires and parts that I add will properly connect?
