Hello List,

I started using Kicad a few weeks ago and it seems a good program with
very high potential. Very good work mr Charras.
Befor I used an older comercial product, ultiboard but this had some
bugs and the never fixed these by now the are selling a new version
which is way to expensive. Therefeore I switched to Eagle which I
think is also very good. But I needed a larger board than was posible
with the free version. I was just about to buy a licence when by
acident I stumbeld upon Kicad. I had to get used to some differences
in workflow and think with some actions one has to click to much. But
maybe this will improve in the future.

Anyway my current question is how can I connect a copper fill to a net
so it will not keep clear of the tracks from the same net but run
throug them?

I could not find anything about this in the help file, but maybe I
overlooked.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I think that while in the fill zone mode you move the pointer inside
the track, right click and choose "select net". Then you can do "fill
zone" from anywhere outside the track.

Thanks that did the trick. I missed that function in the popupmenu
because its only available before one starts drawing the fill edges.

you could also use the 'net highlight' tool. This took me forever to figure out actually. I would expect some option in the Fill dialog to select a net to connect to.
