Bug Description
Application: kicad
Version: 4.0.4-stable release build
wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,
Platform: Windows 8 (build 9200), 64-bit edition, 64 bit, Little endian, wxMSW
Boost version: 1.57.0
Auto place puts component footprints in no go area.
Steps:
1. Place no-go zoes on front and back copper settings: 180, 90, 45 degrees, Hatched Outline, No Tracks = Yes, No vias = Yes, No Copper pour = Yes
2. Set positions of selected components manually and then lock their footprints. Mounting holes are contained within no-go.
3. Select the auto place bizzo on the toolbar to on.
4. Right click pcb edit screen background and select:
Global spread & place ==> Automatically place all footprints.
I have attached a zip file of the project to this report. I have also attached a couple of screen shots as some of the components aren't in the standard libraries.
This is the fifth board I have made with KiCad. It's a great system.
Best Regards
Rob

No-go zones have maening only for routing.
No Tracks = Yes, No vias = Yes, No Copper pour = Yes are for routing.
They are routing constraints
Footprints have no tracks, no vias, no Copper pour.
Footprint placement constraints are an other topic.
