Great news!
This morning I built the branch to test it out.
I loaded some existing board, switched to OpenGL mode and tried to place
a track on a random spot. Moving the mouse around to draw the track
rapidly creates an error. I have no idea if it's related to the new
tools, as I haven't played much yet with the OpenGL rendering, but
anyway here it is:
kiRound_: in file
/home/thesmith/kicad/drawing_tool/pcbnew/pcb_plot_params.cpp on line
349, val: 100000000000.5 too ' > 0 ' for int
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
If you need the .kicad_pcb file I can send it to you. If you simply need
more information, please kindly explain me how to get it and I'll be
happy to debug more.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This time our branch [lp:~cern-kicad/kicad/drawing_tool] brings
some drawing tools to the GAL canvas in pcbnew. The most important
changes:
- tools are bound to the respective buttons on the right toolbar
(there is no "Selection tool" or "Interactive router" entry in menu)
- new tools make possible to draw zones, lines, circles, arcs (the
last one is a improved a bit; '/' changes the direction of arc)
and place modules, texts, dimensions and targets
- you can change the line width while drawing (using -/+ keys)
- by default you can draw lines/zones at any angle; to enable 45
degree mode (resembling push and shove router) you may hold Ctrl
while drawing
- after selecting a single graphical item, you will see edit
points that allow you to modify vertices by dragging them; it also
supports 45 degree mode activated by holding Ctrl
You may have a look on a short demo presenting the mentioned
features: https://vimeo.com/88430298 (or even better - build the
branch and test it yourself).
Next features in the plan:
- edit points for dimensions
- drawing drc markers
- updating coordinates displayed on the statusbar (cursor position)
- support for some missing hot keys (e.g. zoom in/out, changing
layers)
- configuration dialog & menus for the Push & Shove router
- fix a number of places where pcb is updated in the default
canvas, but the GAL canvas had to be switch back and forth to show
the changes
Regards,
Orson
