[sdiy] Errors when importing Bitmap in Eagle

[Schwarz Raphael]

Ok !

Problem solved ! I would have never thought about that.

The issue was in the file path

 the folder I was working in was named %PANELS. I sometimes use special signs to have folders stay on top of a list.

Very bad idea , it seems it messes with the script as % is used a lot in code.. 

Some clever chap on facebook spotted it on my screenshot.

I tried yesterday but somehow it messes up my graphics

However with a bit of work on my original file it could work, seems a much better approach overall

no heavy file, not half an hour to import a 2200 dpi bitmap file to get a decent resolution.


Thanks for your help everyone !
