I am using KiCad for a few weeks and have designed a few boards ready
for production.
Following the advise to check the Gerber files, I installed GC-Preview
on my Win box and Gerbv on my linux box.
Found some tips for the settings to be used when creating the drill
files and discovered that most
I've made some footprints of a 32 pin package, but when trying to connect a
track to the pin I get an error such as
