Hi,
When one draws a copper zone over another zone (with the same net, and
the same layer), the two zones are automagically merged in the default
canvas. This is sometimes not desired - at least by me (example:
repeated layout blocks with overlapping zones). Is there a non-obvious
reason why Kicad works this way (related to insulated copper island
removal/connectivity/DRC algorithms)?
Cheers,
Tom
