We’ve always had a Net popup in the Track & Via Properties dialog. Changing the net doesn’t currently work because nets are propagated out from pads, so any net change is just wiped out by the propagation we perform when the dialog closes. I don’t know if it’s always been this way or if this is the result of a recent change.
I’ve added some code which throws up a dialog allowing the user to correct this (or change her mind): Seth had some concerns that the footprints would no longer match the schematic. But that’s no different than changing the net on a pad through Pad Properties, which we also allow. Even if the user does want to keep the schematic and board in sync, how do we know they’re not going to back-annotate later? Or change the schematic by hand later? Or has even already changed the schematic by hand. I’m concerned that when we try to be too smart we often just get in the way. Thoughts? Cheers, Jeff. https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1787961 BTW: is the warning icon that small in KIDIALOGs on other platforms? It looks a little lost….
