Push to 3D places part in the incorrect orientation

I am working on a PCB and was conststantly pushing to 3D along the way. Everything was going great until I added another two connectors. For some reason the foorprint was brought into the 2D pcb correctly but the 3D package is rotaged 180 degrees for some reason. 

 

Anyone know what would possible cause this?

Hello @shawn3WMTV,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue. @yqliu I believe this has been reported before, but I don't remember the fix. If you do remember could you post it here?

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

@jorge_garcia , yes we fixed similar issues before in code. This one looks different.

@shawn3WMTV , could you please check/try a few things? First, Could you also check the versions of the library, footprint and 3d model? If the version are all ok, please create a new design, place this part into the new design and push to 3D, will you get correct transformation?

The library looks fine. The 3D view in the library has the 3D part in the correct orientation

 

I just re-created the same issue

 

Created a new electronic design

Added two of the connectors.

Pushed to 2D

moved them on the PCB

Pushed to 3D

Everything looked fine.

Went back to schematic and added a third connector

Went to PCB and moved it on the board.

Pushed to 3D, the original two parts remained correct, the new one is rotated 180 degrees.

This such a strange issue. I would start the PCB from scatch again but if I ever add a new connector the same issue is going to happen again.

I found a work around. Which is itself a little odd.

 

I found that if a performed these steps

 

Push to 3D, in the Components options, turned all the components off.

3D pcb shows all footprint, no packages

Go back to 2D and push to 3D again, this time enable all components

3D PCB now has all components facing the correct directions.

 

However, if I performed these steps

 

Push to 3D, in the Components options, turn off only the connectors facing the wrong way

3D pcb only shows footprint for components I turned off

Go back to 2D and push to 3D again, enable all components

3D PCB still incorrectly places packages (180 off) for affected components.

Hi @shawn3WMTV 

Thanks for reporting this issue to us!

It is a known issue and has been reported to the develop build.

And I will keep you updated when we release the fixing for this issue.

YOur workaround is correct - - push to 3d by uncheck all instances related to the rotated package and then push again with all instances checked.

Before the fixing, please use the workaround to avoid this issue. 

Sorry for all inconvenience.

Regards,

Panpan Fan
