Importing kicad_mod fails in freecad 0.19.16442 (Git) about kicadstepupmod HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @nickoe
it seems the kicad_mod file doesn't have any silk screen outline... this is the culprit of the import failing ...
I'm going to add an option to continue also in case of Silks missing.
here the same file with a silks around, which is not failing
RF_Shield_TE_Connectivity_2118708-2-b.txt

Thx for reporting.

@easyw ok, thank you for the prompt response.

Jut now I noticed that there is a footprint for a similar can which also do have the silk and stuff which do import just fine :)

kicad-footprints/RF_Shielding.pretty/Laird_Technologies_BMI-S-103_26.21x26.21mm.kicad_mod

I wonder if you have a script that tries to import all footprints from the libs to test the libs and importer.

@nickoe
I found that in the RF_Shield_TE_Connectivity_2118708-2 kicad_mod the issue is that all the values are inside a double quote...
wrong kicad_mod:
(pad "1" smd roundrect (at 1.705 -0.5 180) (size 3.41 1) (layers "F.Cu" "F.Paste" "F.Mask") (roundrect_rratio 0.25))
correct kicad_mod
(pad 1 smd roundrect (at 1.705 -0.5 180) (size 3.41 1) (layers F.Cu F.Paste F.Mask) (roundrect_rratio 0.25))
If I open the wrong kicad_mod in fp editor and simply export it, all the double quotes will disappear and the fp will be correctly loaded in FC.

I don't know if this behavior is related to your original fp which is generated with a debug build...

Hi @nickoe
I'm closing it because it is now solved.
Thanks for reporting it.
