As Robert mentions, it's pretty easy to do this by making a small turn in the track from the pad as it reaches the perpendicular track and then a second short, mirror-image section that turns in the other direction.
[kicad-users] Interconnecting pins in the module editor?
I am creating a footprint for a screw terminal. It has one connection for an eye-terminal. The terminal has four solder lugs. Creating a footprint and placing four pads is no big deal, but how do I interconnect them? Or alternatively create one large pad with four holes?
Re: [kicad-users] Interconnecting pins in the module editor?
This one could do with going on a FAQ (if it isn't already). Create a footprint in the module editor with as many pads as you need, and then give all the pads the same pin number. Back in the board editor simply connect the pins together with normal tracks. Regards, Robert. anders.gustafsson99 wrote: I am creating a footprint for a screw terminal.
