KiCad does not currently support standalone vias, and I think that would be a necessity before a *clean* implementation of this could be done. The only other options are to either place a /footprint/ as a via (nasty), or place a web of traces along with the vias (terribly, horribly filthy).

That said, I think both are excellent ideas. They won't make it before the freeze, but they ought to be added after it anyway, in the proper order required.

Hello,

I would like to propose a tool "via stitching". Simply many via next to each other. Via stitching is required for me to do thermal transfer from one side to the other. Manual placing requires a lot of effort, a tool could simplify that.

Usage: I would to specify the area and the net and the tool should place the the vias for me. Do you think that such tool could be possible? Altium has a great implementation of via stiching: Do you think that's possible?
