Thanks for the offer.  I went through all of the $DRAWSEGMENT entries in the .brd file for layer 28 (PCB_EDGES) and found that there was one extra segment and the segments were not contiguous.  I painstakingly went through and created coordinates for each board, filled in a spreadsheet and then

Yes, I know about drag block. It's kind of clumsy, sometimes very clumsy. I used to use WinDraft (please don't laugh), with that I could just click on a wire and reshape it however I want. eric --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, Andy Eskelson wrote: > > Have you found drag block rather than

Have you found drag block rather than move block? That does rubberbanding. andy On Thu, 18 Jun 2009 19:42:08 - "einazaki668" wrote: > Not sure if this has been covered already (the search function for this > list seems to be broke). I was thinking it would be nice if KiCad had > a one

[kicad-users] Parallel Power Out pins: best current practice ?

2009-06-18 Thread Werner Almesberger
Some chips route a power output to multiple pins to share the current more equally. Marking all the pins a Power Out will incur ERC's wrath when connecting them to each other. What's the current best practice for dealing with this ? Two ideas: - make only one Power Out, the others Passive or such

Not sure if this has been covered already (the search function for this list seems to be broke). I was thinking it would be nice if KiCad had a one step implementation for rubberbanding wires. Also I think having some sort of flag object to establish non-contiguous connections might be a good ide
