Hi, Ok great to hear that.
I'm looking forward to testing your new tool! This length matching feature was becoming vital. I developed and used my code for my project: www.librecalc/en/[1] . I could not have done it with Kicad without it. Though for using it myself I realize it was still slow and painful to use. So I'm exited to be able to use your more sophisticated feature! :) Pierre.
