AISLER's KiCAD PCB processing does not respect KiCAD 10.0.0 "jumper support"

Hi!

KiCAD 10.0.0 introduced “jumper support”, a way to mark circuit board pads as internally connected by the component to be placed there. This is a handy feature, for example when placing 4-legged push-buttons where the legs are internally connected in pairs and it does not matter which leg connects to the rest of the circuit.

I have a design which uses this feature, but when I import my kicad_pcb file to AISLER, the PCB check gives me the warning Netlist-Layout-Deviation: Unconnected Pads. Is there a way to tell the AISLER PCB check about the connection or do I just have to ignore the warning(s)?

Best Regards,
Fridtjof

Hey @Fridtjof :slight_smile:

Thank you for your patience. It’s not possible to deactivate/ignore warnings in the PCB Viewer automatically or in the settings. I clarified with our team, it’s fine to ignore it in your case and proceed with your order.

If you (or other visitors) want to be sure for, feel free to get in contact with our team via the support form. Make sure to include the project reference or a link to your project.

Have a nice day!
