Re: [PATCH] GAL: Draw hole even if pad has no layer

 

Andrzej-

I just tested this, editing a file to remove the layers from a pad and
KiCad automatically adds the pad back to all copper layers.  I see the pad
in pcbnew and can edit it.

Can you provide a board that demonstrates the issue?  Maybe it was only the
test board I used?
