[Kicad-developers] Live zone filling

Hi all, I've been wanting to take a look at live zone filling, as it's a really useful feature that some professional EDA tools have. If zones refill in real time as you move things around, it's easy to make sure you leave enough space for your fill to succeed. I made a quick patch to pcbnew

100mil is very coarse for elements other than pins to be placed. I think there are cases where we need to change code to match KLC but I don't think this is necessarily one of them. 50mils is easy for placing pins, just have one grid dot between each pin! Plus the grid spacing is accessible with

Well, that depends. If i just wanna sift through them all and get an overview of hide versus show, just searching for "visible" will make me able to read the status of them all. Anyway, these are very specific cases, but i think tokens with a state are both more extendable and more consistent

Having tokens with state also means you can tell if the parent doesn't have the token for some reason (i.e. maybe a new token has been added and you are migrating a file to the new format version) vs. if the parent just has the parameter set to false. On Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 10:36 AM, Kristoffer
