I am currently trying something similar to that idea. The ammount of different drill sizes influenced the cost of a board. the acual size of your copper restring around the drill not so much. so having the ability to input different values for the drill _can_ make your board much more expensive.

Hi Matthias, Your patch looks good to me. I would love to see the same change done for via hole and diameter text controls. Regarding inch vs mil, IMHO mils are better suited for PCB design. Still, I would rather keep pcbnew consistent, so I suppose we should stay with inches for the time being.

2017-08-21 Thread Mathias Grimmberger
Hi all, I think it would be nice if the track width setting in the track properties dialog used a combobox, so one could either enter a free value or select one of the values set up in the design rules. The appended patch implements this. Question1: I had to extend WX_UNIT_BINDER to also
