multiple pads in one Pads_Poly sketch
Hi. I'm trying to create solder jumper consist of two semi-circle pads. I's my first attempt to create something in FreeCAD. I want both pads to be equal and size be defined by single radius constraint. I didn't find any way to make equality constraints between two sketches so I desided to place both pads into one sketch (I saw multiple rectangular pads in one sketch Pads_TH_SMD in footprint-complex-arc-pads example), so I created sketch with two pads, named it "Pads_Poly", but unfortunately ksu Footprint generator generates footprint with only one pad. Am I doing something wrong or is it impossible to define multiple pads in one Pads_Poly sketch?
Here is my jumper FreeCAD file. jmp.zip
By the way, removing small circles from pads result in generator error "list index out of range". Now I understand that those circles acts as pad anchors, but I think script should display more descriptive message.
@sborshch unfortunately ATM the only way is making a sketch each polyline pad... in FC you can refer to external geometry to keep references or constrains.

I know that my tools are lacking of documentation. You may consider to contribute with a PR, adding tips to the main doc: https://github.com/easyw/kicadStepUpMod/blob/master/demo/kicadStepUp-cheat-sheet.odg
