My understanding is that this may already work, provided that you: a) tie the vias together with a track, and b) are willing to ignore some DRC errors. This suggests that the filling portion is probably solid already, and there is some conditional logic that needs re-working. I see the DRC errors on thermal pads, but I am currently ignoring them. I think for zones, the DRC thing may not be a problem, you just have to tie the via together? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
