Hi!

Thanks for the COOL tool!

I've just tried your online tool with one of my designs (attached below) and found some minor problems.

  1. The placement of the silk screen texts are off, which is unfortunate as it requires additional manual effort to cleanup the board. As this is a board for experimentations, having correctly placed texts is quite important. Probably what you meant with "... with the exception of texts which may look a bit different."

  2. While importing, I got several messages like:
    Warning: unsupported shape SVGNODE in footprint gge4bb415021ae37c69
    Probably correspondingly, I'm missing the OSHW logo in the silk screen in the middle of both sides of the board.
    ... seems to be already mentioned in bug Unsupported shape SVGNODE and Unsupported SOLIDREGION #42

  3. There a some strange texts (e.g. gge638a534c459c248c) in the Cmts.User layer. The texts can also be found in the original .json file, so I suspect this is caused by some "unfiltered content".

Anyway, thanks for putting all the work into this!

Regards, ULFL

P.S: Have you thought about putting this to upstream Kicad? While they are currently busy fixing bugs for the 6.0 release, this seems to be a valuable extension for the future!

P.P.S: PCB .json
PCB_Breakout 40 Pin V2.0.json.zip
