I suggest the first place to start is implementing Bezier shape creation (don't worry about tracks right now). KiCad already has some level of internal support for Beziers, it just isn't fully-supported by the UI.
In the current nightlies, graphic shapes can take on nets. -Jon On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 8:10 AM RoG Pé <pr.ran...@gmail.com> wrote: > I agree with you, Bezier tracks can be done by arc approximations but the > main idea with Bezier tracks is to adjust the length of a track to a > desired value by moving constraint points. > The goal is to master easily and exactly the length of a track. > With Bezier a track will not be a collection of tracks (arc, straight,...) > but a list of constraint points.
