I agree: a "glue" layer is not useful (mostly obsolete), and I also never had to use it. Adhesive layers (note: they are not named glue layers) are certainly a very specialized feature. On the other hand, they are paired layers. Please see them like layers which can be used to draw some specific things closely related to a footprint, like its thermal radiator, a carbon paste layer ... -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
