set_origin
changes not reflected in the UI until KiCad reloaded
Summary
Setting the grid origin with board.set_origin
appears to work internally, but the change isn't visible in the GUI, until the project is saved and reloaded at which point the new grid origin appears.
Reproduction steps
Given the following code
board = ki.get_board()
x, y = (17750000, 5000000)
print(board.get_origin(BoardOriginType.BOT_GRID))
board.set_origin(
origin_type=BoardOriginType.BOT_GRID, origin=Vector2.from_xy(x, y)
)
print(board.get_origin(BoardOriginType.BOT_GRID))
The output will resemble
Vector2(19250000, 9750000)
Vector2(17750000, 5000000)
No change in the UI will be seen. Save and reload the project and the new origin appears.
