Hi Jean-Pierre, Thank you for the remarks. During the tests I had minor problems to place footprints so they were considered continous, but eventually it worked fine. Computing the maximum distance basing on the segment thickness sounds like a good idea. Do you agree to the proposed changes given I modify maximum distance restriction to be calculated on the spot?

This is the only one reason they are not currently allowed. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUBgl9AAoJEBRwGu1hpbJ1+YoH/R9njUa+TCrZa6NfjB3X2hqX vchSw+dAncuYiOPIaVdFfjxCn0VnPRr318QWxN6guKrBx05/EBzX6CdpkP97BHSi vskww7mGO1Da6s6yqkTjcvgsgozMmFBRHsVdGS3ZNl4lzILnLsHn4vFXuBX185xr w32pv0F/8LxG6pgehGgDVXyPC8SB735lsAWBaVPEGpaqocR08qdWM689uZ9byIHh DEVC+WTj8+LK8zSA0NJGVGNnZYaCQjQyCzmUTiO/WA1ROePJEcr5zFTFuXy68JE8 +QqGzhHhlenCs+RyoKYg4llQd3PNg3L+lHb/noXty08CaABue0C1i2xvEiocXC4= =hPhd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
