Re: [Kicad-developers] DRC roadmap

Hi Seth, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this, but it's long in the past. I shared the thread links with Wayne so he could see what 'not interested' looks like from this community members side. First post with no feedback on changing the TRACK object I figured people were busy.

Re: [Kicad-developers] DRC roadmap

Hi Seth, Copper drawings repel all nets. This example show collisions with text and an arc (ignore the two via markers): If you want to see some Christmas lights, set your router to “Highlight Collisions” mode and run a track into some text. It will highlight individual segments of the

Re: [Kicad-developers] DRC roadmap

Hello hauptmech- I suspect that the tepid response you have received may be partially a result of the magnitude of doing this job well. It touches many aspects of the PNS router, zone filling, connectivity, drc among others. Without a clear, written plan first, it will be hard to say which

Re: [Kicad-developers] DRC roadmap

FWIW, DRC now handles collisions with copper arcs, and zone cutouts for copper arcs. What’s still missing is the Connection Algorithm (because they’re arcs and not tracks). That also means the DRC clearance calculations are one-sided as they only take into account the clearance of the
