Hi Guys, Thanks so-much to whoever is working on the pad properties dialog, I much prefer it already!
However, I was just creating a new module and came across a funny. When I select Mechanical hole, I expect really to only have to select a drill shape and size. Instead, I'm forced to satisfy a constraint where the pad size must be greater than the drill size. This constraint as always been present and if I remember correctly has something to do with the DRC. So, to satisfy this I usually set the pad size the same as the drill size. Although not perfect (as copper is always left because the drilling is never 100% accurate) it does the job fine and I've never had problems. Now though, this caused a pad offset error when the offset is zero because there is a check to make sure the drill is smaller OR EQUAL to the pad size. Removing the OR EQUAL part makes everything work okay again with a mechanical hole having the same pad size as drill size. Ideally this constraint would be removed, but I'm sure that's now easy. I've attached a very small patch to make the change. Thanks for all your hard work, KiCad is moving forward fast :) Best Regards, Brian.
