I got the latest version of PCB from the git repositor= y and compiled it. The second problem went away. There are no conversion er= rors when I copy the LED2.pcb example.

I still have the original problem where th= e pad display is wrong. I added 2 SMT 0805 to a test file and performed = the test.

Before the file was saved the SMT foot prints were correctly dis= played, but once saved to a file, then reloaded the SMT components were imp= roperly displayed as in the image previously sent in this thread.

I = attached the foot print and the resulting file. This was the minimal config= uration I could make.

I thought it might be a problem with one = of the external libraries which is used to render the GUI. But if it = was, would the display error not also be visible when the component i= s first placed on the layout, before saving?

Any ideas on what I can do ne= xt?

This is a bug.

I haven't seen this problem, but I also haven't used your ver= sion.

The uni= t is changed because newer versions switched to using nm
= coordinates internally.

The calculatio= n error is a bug. It might be the same bug that messes
up= the 0805.

Nono, yo= u're doing super basic things that should work just fine.

Can you try building the very latest source?

Kind regards
