> 1. Using zones for connectivity KiCAD allows you to assign any net to a zone using the zone property dialog (that appears when you create or edit a zone).
> 2. Auto-route Personally I've never achieved anything useful with the automatic tools in Kicad. For auto-routing I would recommend exporting a Spectra DSN file and reading it into FreeRouter (http://www.freerouting.net/). Hit Autoroute, go down the beach and enjoy yourself, and when you come back it'll be nicely done. > 3. Pads with "special" shape (Annular ring, interdigital, custom image, etc) You can create a complex pad shapes by combining the various "primitives" into the shape required and then giving each component of the pad the same pad number. The only (tiny) snag with this is you have to remember to hook together the component pads with tracks in the main editor. > 4. Auto-Moving wires (Right now, I'm erasing an existente wire and then I > redraw it) Not sure what you mean, as you can move tracks around very easily. Do you mean push-and-shove? If so, FreeRouter does this splendidly IMHO. > 5. Auto moving wires associated to one via. Could you explain what you mean, please? > 6. Blind vias. Vias can be between any two layers. May I suggest you read through the documentation supplied with KiCAD? Regards, Robert.
