Janis 1) This PATCH is going to take some time to process, it will require some discussion. In any case it is not conformant to coding standards as is but it is not a large patch so I would not bother resubmitting it yet.
2) you will have to join the mailing list to continue posting. > Hi! > > Been using KiCAD and encountered bug. > > Description of bug: > The issue is that tracks that are floating (not connected to any pad) lost > netcodes > after reloading board file or doing DRC. This was important > because I use VIAs to improve impedance, thermal conductivity etc. > > Solution: > My attached patch fixes this. > > The principle is that all tracks created have netcode so in recalculation > function > "PCB_BASE_FRAME::RecalculateAllTracksNetcode" I simply mark track netcode > with flag bit > in MSB.

Difference is that now even tracks not connected can have their netcode > updated to > correct value. Netcodes that doesn't have substitution data are set to 0. > This would be > case where some part is deleted and traces left with now non-existing netcode. > > > Janis Skujenieks > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : [email protected] > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
