How to use the --ignore option of the 3d print stencil output feature

[Xeon-774]

Hello.
The 3d print stencil output feature of your plugin is great. I am amazed that it can output .stl files with a few simple commands.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the --ignore option to work.
The documentation page didn't give any examples, so I have tried several arguments to address this issue, but none of them work.
https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/v1.4/stencil/
If I remove the --ignore option, the printable file is output correctly.
Is there a problem with the way the arguments are specified?
The command I used is shown in the figure below.

[kikit stencil createprinted --pcbthickness 1.6 --thickness 0.3 --ignore "D1","D2" --framewidth 5.0 --frameclearance 0.4 --enlargeholes 0.2 ./file.kicad_pcb ./folder/]

These are the arguments I used.

"D1","D2"

D1,D2

[D1,D2]

["D1","D2"]

"D1,D2"

Thank you.

Hi,
I have a hard time understanding what the problem is since you didn't say what precisely is not working (what is the expected output and what is the produced output) or if there is an error reported by KiKit.

The expected usage is kikit stencil createprinted --ignore C1,L2,C15 input.kicad_pcb output_dir. I tested it on a couple of boards and it seems to work just fine.

Please, provide a better description of the problems you observe.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
Thank you for sharing with me how to write the correct parameters.
I apologize for any confusion I have caused you, because I did not give you the information you needed to identify the problem.

I verified this with a circuit consisting of a single smd LED and a smd resistor element. I tried the [--ignore D1,R1][--ignore D1] command hoping that all stencil holes would be removed, but as before, the following error message appears and no file is generated.

[swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'EDA_ANGLE *', no destructor found.
swig/python detected a memory leak of type 'EDA_ANGLE *', no destructor found.]

This error message is no longer displayed when I remove the --ignore option, and a printable file is generated in the specified directory.
If there is any missing information, I will provide it to the best of my ability.
Thank you.

The error message comes from the Python API of KICAD and it is possible that KiCAD crashes. Could you please open an issue and attach the exact files and command that triggers this behavior? If you mind sharing the files publically, you can share them via e-mail.

Sorry for the delay in my reply.
I will open an issue on the python api of kikad.
Thank you.

I'm sorry I haven't posted for a while.

The problem that was raised in this discussion, ``Stencil files are not generated correctly,'' appears to have been resolved in the Windows 10, KICAD 8.0.2, and KIKIT 1.5.1 environments.
The --ignore option was processed and the stl file was successfully generated.
However, the "no destructor found" error still appears, so I raised an issue in the kicad api discussion.

thank you very much.
