Only CLI fails to panelize for more than 2 x 2

Open dafri92 opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Prerequisites

  • [x] I have read FAQ
  • [x] I have searched existing issues (including closed ones)
  • [x] I use KiKit at least version 1.7.2 (older version are not supported)

KiKit version

kikit, version 1.7.2

KiCAD version (only KiCAD 8 and 9 are supported)

9.0.3

Operating system

macOS 15.6, Windows 11

Description

I'm trying to panelize the attached PCB. This is the minimal example I could get to generate the error. Using the GUI approach with the KiCad plugin works as expected (tested on Windows).

Using these commands to panelize from CLI fails

  • "/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/kikit" panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 4; cols: 4;' "Panelize Fail.kicad_pcb" "Panel.kicad_pcb"
  • `"${KICAD9_3RD_PARTY}\Python311\Scripts\kikit.exe" panelize --layout 'grid; rows: 4; cols: 4;' "Panelize Fail.kicad_pcb" "Panel.kicad_pcb"``

with the error message both on macOS and Windows:

An error occurred: Board rotation has to be passed as EDA_ANGLE, not a number
No output files produced

Interestingly when changing the panel size to 2 x 2 or 1 x 1 it works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

Here to output with debug option set from macOS

"/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/kikit" panelize --debug 'trace: true' --layout 'grid; rows: 4; cols: 4;' "Panelize Fail.kicad_pcb" "Panel.kicad_pcb"

Please, attach the output when running with --debug 'trace: true'.
