Re: Round trace bends

 

I don't ever remember myself or JP not being interested in round traces.
 It's just been a matter of priorities and manpower.  I do remember
being pretty firm on ensuring that the gerber plotting and DRC are
correct before the drawing tools and file format changes go live.  The
reason for this should be obvious.  Fixing the DRC is in the v6 road map
so that would be the best place to start for someone who has a lot of
free time.  The amount of work to implement this is not going to be
trivial and I will expect the design and quality of the DRC code changes
to be high.

Cheers,

Wayne
