Library QA · Ray
Each of your recently-uploaded components was put through three renderers side by side — the Adom wiki preview widget, KiCad’s native editor, and Fusion’s Electronics library. The 3D packages and Fusion’s ganged (assembled) view come through correctly, and every symbol and footprint is the correct KiCad-official part. We did find two places where our own viewers drop detail that KiCad renders: overlapping power-pin labels on some symbols, and the missing pin-1 marker on every footprint. Both are our rendering bugs — the data in your files is complete and correct.
Rows are the three renderers; columns are the schematic symbol, PCB footprint, and 3D chip. The Ganged view is Fusion-only — the assembled library part (symbol + footprint + 3D bound together); KiCad and the wiki widget don’t offer an equivalent. Watch two columns against the KiCad row: the symbol (power-pin labels overlap on some parts — which renderer depends on the layout) and the footprint (the pin-1 marker is dropped on every part). KiCad draws both correctly from your files; our two viewers don’t.
Neither is a problem with your files. In both cases the detail is present and correct in your KiCad-official CAD, KiCad draws it, and two of our viewers drop it.
Some parts place power pins at the top/bottom center of the symbol. KiCad always spaces them so every label is readable. Two of our renderers overlap them, in different ways: Fusion draws center power pins as vertical text through the body, colliding with the reference/value or the center pin names (ADS1120, MAX3232, PCA9538, TXS0102, ADR4525); the wiki widget collides labels where two power pins sit one grid apart (ADS1120’s DVDD/AVDD, TPS61091’s stacked grounds). Where the power pins are on the sides, both render fine.
Fix is ours: the wiki widget and the Fusion import. Logged with the Fusion bridge.
Every footprint carries its pin-1 markers in the source .kicad_mod — a filled silkscreen triangle beside pin 1 and a chamfered fab-layer outline. KiCad draws both (see the KiCad footprint column). The wiki viewer renders pads only (it never parses the silkscreen/fab graphics), and Fusion’s footprint view shows no pin-1 marker either — so pad 1 looks identical to the rest.
Fix is ours: both footprint viewers must draw the F.SilkS / F.Fab graphics, not just pads. There is no separate “pin-1” field to add — the geometry is already in your file.
Nothing for you to change. Pin 1 is critical for orientation, so we’re surfacing it the same way as the labels — so a missing marker in our preview never reads as a gap in your part.
Preliminary — from an ongoing import test as you upload parts. Your CAD is correct and complete; the two gaps (colliding symbol labels, dropped pin-1 marker) are rendering limitations in our own preview widget and Fusion importer, and both are logged on our side. Happy to re-check any part any time.
