What’s still missing is the Connection Algorithm (because they’re arcs and not tracks). That also means the DRC clearance calculations are one-sided as they only take into account the clearance of the colliding track or the zone (as the arcs are assumed to have a 0 clearance).
Is there is a document describing the DRC/Connectivity approach from KiCAD? I know at least one Layout-Tool which has a full connectivity check for any shape - independent from the actual shape. This is very cool since it handles even connections made by arbitrary imported shapes or connections made through pads touching each other.
With such an algorithm you don't have to care about the type or shape of an object which is great in terms of future-proofnes.
Best regards, Martin
