Re: [Kicad-developers] Zones 45 degree
It will also need a bit of a tweak. If the zone boundary covers an odd number of grid points the center point will be inter-grid. Dragging it needs to leave it there, not snap to one or the other grid points to either side. > On 24 Jun 2019, at 14:07, Tomasz Wlostowski wrote: > > On 24/06/2019 15:05, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > >> The geometric constraint solver will be the solution for v6 but this >> still leaves us with the issue of what to do for the 5.1 branch. > > Hi Wayne, > > I didn't notice it's for v5.1.x branch.

Hi Wayne, I didn't notice it's for v5.1.x branch. In this case, Seth solution is perfectly OK.

I believe that this bug has indeed been around since this was implemented. I guess the question is what to do about it? Since the constraint solver hasn't been merged into the master branch, I'm guessing that fixing this in the master branch should be fairly easily cherry-picked into the 5.1 branch. I like Seth's "disabling end-point dragging in the outline - only center-point dragging and with the Alternate constraint fixed on" proposal as a fix. It been a while but I'm pretty sure the intent of the 45 degree zone setting was to always maintain the constraint not just when the zone was created.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Zones 45 degree
I think the final segment issue has always been a bug. There’s a bunch of constraint code in the POINT_EDITOR, so I think it’s *meant* to work while editing a zone. (The code includes both single-point constraints and two-point constraints, but I haven’t ever dug into it to see what they do.) Cheers, Jeff. > On 24 Jun 2019, at 05:43, Seth Hillbrand wrote: > > Hi All- > > This bug report [1] notes that the "Constrain zone to 90/45" option only > works during zone creation.
