Hello Heikki,

Can you explain the logic you are using to determine the net of the vias during DRC reconnect? It looks like you are only considering the top and bottom layer, but stitching vias may be stitching internal layers?

Hi Wayne and all,

About that my suggestion of Via Stitching. I do some tests and found that if DRC first fill zones and then do tests it does not break anything. if you forgot to Fill or Refill zoenes before running DRC.

    Hi Wayne,

    If you try this, I send the last full patch of that Via Stitching.
    Do not care other patches in mailing list, they are more or less
    incomplete.
