Ok, for the moment, I chatted enough. What do you think about

Hi!
Only a quite short anwer for the moment - maybe I have more time this
evening...
a) in my opinion, this should not be tied to layers. Instead it should
be part of a net class in the design rules. This would allow the user
to keep separate inner/outer constraints per net class. When
One more thing: I agree that the additional numbers may confuse a bit. So,
why not just insert a check box named: Use layer based constraints?
Still one more thing (I'm a bit sarcastic now, but I don't mean it bad,
don't get me wrong): Why is the layer stack in the menu constraints? ;-)
hm... me again! Sorry about that, but I just had another thought I would
like to tell you:
Taking the layer constraints into the (net) constrain dialog would mean that
somehow, I have to tell for each constraint, to which layer it is
applicable.
One problem with this approach I have

Hi Simon,
I agree that such constraints are very useful, I use them frequently in
Altium, but this is
Very cool idea!
Concerning the potential mess in the pcb file, I absolutely agree.
Concerning the potential mess I partly agree. Of course, this check-box
would be in the layer stack dialog, not in the constraint dialog.
I really like your idea of an arbitrary list of constraints of any sort.

Hi there
I think I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a hobbyist programmer and mechanic
by trade. I got into electronics about 2-3 years back with my first micro
controller experience using an Arduino. Since then I've been searching for a
good free open-source tool to draw schematics and pcb
Hi,
in case you are interested, you can find a diff attached. It's of course a
very basic version, the constraints are neither saved nor initialized at
startup, and only track width and track clearance are handled yet.
But imagine being in the position where you have such different layer
