A way I would like to try is to create a 2 layers board, and then use the bottom layer for horizontal connections and the upper layer for vertical connections (using vias to go from on side to the other). In this way you will get with Kicad a board, and a 3D view of this board, which may be close to your request. Of course you do not will have the non necessary holes, neither the unnecessary tracks.
Good luck, Jean-Paul **************** Jean-Paul Gendner 03.88.27.03.44 _____ De : kicad-users@yahoogroups.com [mailto:kicad-us...@yahoogroups.com] De la part de Andrew Envoyé : lundi 9 août 2010 17:51 À : kicad-users@yahoogroups.com Objet : [kicad-users] Using Kicad to layout stripboards. A few days ago I posted a message about using Kicad to create a stripboard layout. After getting no reply, I decided to just have ago. I already used the free version of Veecad to layout my board, but what I really wanted was a 3D view, so I just recreated the circuit in EESchema , used CVpcb to link the modules to the netlist, and then finally created a template in PCBNew of a stripboard with holes at 0.1" pitch, and used that template to layout the parts just as the Veecad print out. The green bottom tracks are the copper strips on the stripboard, the green X's are the track breaks needed, and the red tracks on top of the board are the wire links. I will post a couple of images in the File section for you to look at, so that you can see what I'm talking about. The circuit in question is one half of a Computer Operated Telescope drive system that I am in the process of building. Andy
