Hi,
Just some thoughts on possible enhancements for eeschema.
1/Rubber banding of the wires when moving components.
This feature already exists - just use "Drag Block" to move the
components. Select a component by dragging a box with the left mouse
button down. Then right-click and choose "Drag Block"
Hi,
It would also be nice to be able to move the "node's" of the wires and
break them just like the tracks in pcbnew, so you don't end up with
diagonal wires. Maybe I've missed this function but now when I drag a
component the above sugested way I have to redraw al wires to make
things look nice again.
If your selection box includes some nodes, they will be move with the component. In many cases this will achieve the desired result.
Sometimes it is difficult to find a rectangle that encompasses exactly the desired set of objects, but the feature is nevertheless very useful.
You can also use this feature to move just the ends of wires, or wire segments.
