Hi guys,

Does anybody here know if the 'locked' flag for tracks/vias affects
anything else than the Global Deletions tool? It seems so from the code:

pcbnew(master)$ find . -name "*.cpp" | xargs grep TRACK_LOCK
./attribut.cpp: *  TRACK_LOCKED       protection against global delete
./attribut.cpp:    track->SetState( TRACK_LOCKED, Flag_On );
./attribut.cpp:        Track->SetState( TRACK_LOCKED, Flag_On );
./attribut.cpp:/* Modify the flag TRACK_LOCKED according to Flag_On value,
./attribut.cpp:        Track->SetState( TRACK_LOCKED, Flag_On );
./onrightclick.cpp:    if( Track->GetState( TRACK_LOCKED ) )
./class_track.cpp:    if( GetState( TRACK_LOCKED ) )
./class_track.cpp:    if( stateBits & TRACK_LOCKED )
./class_track.cpp:        ret << wxT( " | TRACK_LOCKED" );
./dialogs/dialog_global_deletion.cpp:            track_mask_filter |=
TRACK_LOCKED;
./dialogs/dialog_global_deletion.cpp:                if( (
track->GetState( TRACK_LOCKED | TRACK_AR ) & track_mask_filter ) != 0 )
./dialogs/dialog_global_deletion.cpp:                if( (
track->GetState( TRACK_LOCKED | TRACK_AR ) == 0 ) &&

I'm asking because I'd like to add track/via locking feature to the GAL
and I'm also considering making P&S avoid (hug) locked tracks/vias.

Cheers,
Tom
