Facts: - got 10 answers - only 1 suggested that adding this feature in pcb-rnd would make him give pcb-rnd a serious try; 9 said they wouldn't use pcb-rnd or at least not because of blind/burried vias My conclusion was that I don't need to add this feature in pcb-rnd because it wouldn't be used that much. I also said that the poll showed some more interest on mainlin pcb side but even there it's not a feature 100% of answerers demanded. What you answered to is none of what I stated. Please read the original mail again or even visit the link I posted. Regards, Igor2
