KiCad Footprint Scaling

flux

I found no verified usable TC4420CPA-compatible PDIP-8 footprint in the Flux library.
I inspected these candidates:
All have correct source dimensions but compute at 0.001× scale, so none are manufacturing-safe. This appears to affect imported KiCad PDIP footprints generally, not only TC4420CPA.

Check whether Flux support has a workaround for the KiCad footprint scaling defect.

I’ll check Flux documentation and support guidance for a known KiCad footprint 1000× scaling workaround, then report only verified steps.

Flux support documentation does not list a specific workaround for the KiCad 0.001× footprint scaling defect.
The only documented fallback is to:
  1. Ensure the .kicad_mod uses a supported KiCad format.
  2. Remove the imported footprint asset.
  3. Rebuild the footprint with native Flux pads using explicit millimeter dimensions.
A Scale rule is documented for SVG/3D assets, but not as a reliable correction for imported KiCad pad geometry. Since this is a reproducible platform bug, report the project and reproduction details through Contact Support.
