KiKit discontinuous outline unobvious stuff

Working with KiKit? It’s great, and this problem ain’t its fault, I’d hope.

If your board has a footprint with origin far outside of the board area, KiKit will not pick it up. In turn, if this footprint constitutes part of your outline, that’s going to generate a “discontinuous outline” problem, and KiKit will stall before even starting to generate anything, leaving you with an empty page and no hints.

Solution? In the Source tab, set tolerance to a higher value than 1mm.

{
    "source": {
        "tolerance": "10mm"
    }
}

Of course, there’s a few ways that a discontinuous outline bug might happen. Read through these issues to learn more.

If you think that this is bad advice, contact me somehow and let me know. Cheers!
