Hi all,
upon a bugreport by miloh, we started to investigate the details of
routing style handling and the SetSame() action (that tries to pick up
drawing properties from an existing object - deftault hotkey: 'a').
We made some improvements and bugfixes. The next release of pcb-rnd will
feature a more usable style system:
- virtually unlimited number of styles (since 1.1.0 already)
- a series of bugfixes regarding to SetSame() and mixed types (bugs
present in mainline 20140316)
- no more hidden "pen style" - made it explicit under the name <custom>
style
- <custom> style properties can be edited from the route style dialog
(gtk). This allows the user to temporarily change the drawing style, using
explicit numbers, without creating a new named style, before placing a
few custom-sized objects. E.g. need to place a via with drill hole 1.8mm
and 0.5 mm thick ring? Just enter these two values in the route style
dialog using the <custom> style and place the vias, then switch back to
one of the permanent styles.
