Re: Via Stitching

 

Hi, it looks usable.

Don't know if it is visible for all, but Wayne, what do you think about it?

    Hi,

    Here is demovideo about via stitching. It is slowly, because of
    slowly machine. I do some development too, so full patch is
    attached too.

        Hi Heikki,
        is there any chance to make some screenshots or video about
        this? Some of us do compile kicad to get the latest and
        greatest but never applied a patch for a particular feature.

        Regards

            Hi,

            Putting back that my via stitching tool to routing tool.
            It is better that way, I think. All via tools are in same
            place, and it adds vias to pours only from hotkeys.

                Hi,

                Finally Via Stitching without tracks is at zone tool.
                I tested it little bit, but more tests are needed.
                This patch replace all other patches. Do not use them,
                use only this patch. I think this is worth of try. I
                am going to use it anyway, even if it do not get any
                acceptance. First patch is for Fedora users. It makes
                possible to build Kicad in Fedora release wxWidgets
                libs whitout building wxWidget from source. I do not
                know has anybody else that problem, but I had.

                    Hi

                    And I really practice. I made improvement and
                    forgot to copy all. So improvement is in these two
                    patches. I hope this suggestion is accepted as a
                    new feature.

                        As in practice, I made a patch file of my
                        changes Not only diifs. It is SHIFT-ALT-V
                        hotkey whitch make buried and blind vias, as
                        it is in routing too.

                            Hi,

                            I made some improvements to my patch of
                            via stitching. Now you can just point
                            copper pour place and press V, it make
                            trough via. If you press SHIFT+CTRL+V it
                            make buried or blind via.It does not
                            change working layer. Only when you place
                            buried or blind via from different layer
                            than it's layer pair is. I think that it
                            is quite easy to shoot board full of
                            copper pours connecting vias. It is
                            possible to remove connecting tracks from
                            old designs. Just delete connection from
                            pad and use clenup. Only have to remember
                            that if there are not at least two copper
                            pours in same netcode in different layers
                            via is deleted too. Any support?

                                Hi everybody,

                                This is my suggestion to via stitching
                                without any tracks. It connects
                                unconnected vias in different copper
                                pours witch has same netcode. Adding
                                vias is normal routing process without
                                routing tracks. Start - Change Layer -
                                End. Tool that do those things
                                automatically would be good, so you
                                can add all vias in same layer. After
                                adding vias, run "Fill or Refill All
                                Zones" that "Clenup tracks and vias"
                                do not remove partly connected vias.
