Re: [Kicad-developers] Round trace bends

I don't ever remember myself or JP not being interested in round traces. It's just been a matter of priorities and manpower. I do remember being pretty firm on ensuring that the gerber plotting and DRC are correct before the drawing tools and file format changes go live. The reason for this

Hi, is there is any development for chamfer trace edges ongoing? I use KiCAD frequently for RF designs and strongly miss the functionality to change 45°/90° bends to round ones. If there is no development planned I would try it on my own or try to find a student implementing it for us.
