Hi Roger,


few weeks ago I posted a list of what I considered worthy
improvements to basic KiCad features. The list is here:
  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/1637

The single highest productivity improvement feature
(apart from undo :-) would be the ability to drag a trace
while preserving its direction and directions of all the
connected traces.

The way how it should work is approximately as in
Pulsonix or PCB Elegance: none of the segments involved
should ever change direction, and they should just keep
changing length to preserve connectivity.

With a real Online DRC, of course, which simply would not
permit dragging a segment past the edge of conflict position.
The Kicad Online DRC works only while drawing traces
for the first time, and not at all later when altering them.

Try it for yourself with the free version of PCB Elegance
(limited  to 200 pins) from http://www.mercoelectronics.com.


Regards,

Sinisa
