I understand the temptation to do the quick and easy hack. We have all done it. From a project maintenance perspective, allowing developers to merge their personal quick hacks quickly makes a mess of the KiCad code base. This is why I would prefer that we carefully consider what trace drawing options we want to support so we can design a solution that works over the long term. > > /Jonatan > >> 21 nov. 2019 kl. 18:34 skrev Ian McInerney <ian.s.mciner...@ieee.org>: >> >> >> This is probably introducing major feature creep, but it would be nice >> to develop a dialog that allows setting the per-trace characteristics >> (such as color, line type, line width, etc) that this could go in. >> Where we put the accessors to it, I am not sure (it would be great if >> we could link it with the legend fields).
