Hi all! Thanks for replies. Now i know my work is welcomed, so i will try to do it according to your suggestions. The main goals of my work is: 1. Make more than one level of grid. When we zoom out too far, grid now not disappears, but replaces by super grid of another color. The amount of zoom

Hi all, I just did a patch implementing a bit better dragging that the old one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/718235). I am willing to push it to git HEAD and than start some work on PCBs layers. It seem, that there are a few problems with the current layer implementation. I have not looked

Hi. The solder paste pattern emitted by PCB seems to coincide exactly with the copper of the pads. This is a reasonable default. But there are use cases where a different solder paste size is better. 1) A pad completely covered with solder mask should not receive any solder paste. This kind of
