Please keep in mind that we are currently in feature freeze so no stitching via code (or any other new feature for that matter) is going make it into the upcoming stable release. We are already behind where I had hoped to be so I do not want to jeopardize pushing the stable release back any

Since this has gotten a lot of attention, I figured I'd share my workarounds. KiCad is missing a few features for good RF layout. There are a few things which I use frequently in other EDA tools which haven't been implemented quite yet by KiCad. Via stitching is one of them. The methods

Hi Mikk,   I hope that I find this or next weekend some time to upload a recent version. I need to merge the actual KiCad code and have to do more testing. It's a tool to automate the stitching using the scripting window and also with a simple dialog, roughly inspired by Altium.   Thanks,

Hi Mikk,   perhaps you have missed that; I've written a while ago that I'm working on a VIA stitching tool. It's mostly written as KiCad Python script with minimal additions to the scripting engine. A first version (as proof of concept) is almost ready and I've used it for my latest PCB. I need
