Re: Limits tracks to 45¡ã

Re: Limits tracks to 45¡ã
Check your clearances very carefully. If two clearance zones "just" touch then a track will not route. Tracks at 0,45 and 90 tend to (but not always) have better chances of not infringing on

Re: KiCAD newbie... what is involved for upgrade from 5.10 to 5.12 ?
Hi, I'm curious: What exactly did you find difficult in the transition between 5.x and 6.0? Pretty much everything that works in 5.x still works in 6.0 in almost the same way. The only "problems" that

Re: Problem editing schematic in an existing project ...
Little hint: all Symbols are laid out so that pins are aligned on a grid of 1.27mm (1/20th inch, 50mils), usually even 2.54mm (1/10th inch, 100mils) is sufficient. So you should set your grid to
