Hi,
https://www.electric-sheep.eu/0WPPnXhN8uAVGNnNzGBaIISw6z7U84p7srSE411BTQ.mkv.
It's 16MB and I'll leave it there for a couple of days. Regrettably
gitlab refused my registration, so I cannot use proper channel to hand
it over to you. I don't mind handing over the project files, too. Just
tell me it'll help.
no audio there, so pls follow the mouse moves.
I didn't mean "exclude from multi=channel", quite the opposite. My
intention was to suggest "here multi-channel starts" marker at
schematic/sub-schematic level. This comes from the fact, that currently
implemented generation of zones based on sub-schematic creates areas,
which reflect "currently" (that is "random") placement of components -
because it's done before placement replication action. So in my work I
had to re-generate zones after every attempt to replicate their
configuration. Having a single flag at schematic level fixes that.

Hi Rafał,
If there is a case where sub sheets can't find their matches in the
multichannel tool, this sounds like it might be a bug. Can you post a
minimal example to a bug report?
It is not quite clear to me what additional benefit comes from
specialized markers for 'exclude from multi-channel'. When creating the
multi-channel design, you can already pick and choose which rules areas
and/or subsheets are included. However, if you could post a video of
your process along with what you are trying to achieve to the bug
tracker, this would be helpful in either fixing the tool or fixing the
documentation

Hi all,
For some time now I'm using-and-testing the multichannel tool. During
that time I've stumbled upon cases where zone mapping of identical
copied of sub-schematics fail to find isomorphism complaining of
"topological missmatch". But those sub-shcematics ARE identical.
So I was wondering, it it would be prudent and along the design roadmap
if the "rules zones" based on subschematics were indicated as sub-sheet
marker/flag available just like "exclude from simulation" or "exclude
from board" are. An additional flag would be something like: "pin
rule-zone to schematic" (or "schematic also defines role zone") and
replace the "generate rule zone" step of defining area to replicate.
Currently this becomes possible, as an option to indicate one part
withing sub-sheet, that will "govern the placement and orientation" of
replicated zones.
I still haven't worked out how exactly and where in the kicad code the
"Generate zone" maps the identity of parts involved in the bug/failure
resulting in topological mismatches I've experienced during
replication.
I'd appreciate a helping hand in understanding the code.
Regards,
-R
