Or instead of trying to change how the ratsnests are displayed because they are laying on top of each other, instead have the user hover over the overlapping of nets and a popup appears showing what nets there are kind of like a magnifying glass, would probably be better if this magnifying glass is

bject: Re: [Kicad-developers] Version 6 development planning Brian, Thanks, but you don't need to do anything. There is already a roadmap entry for changing the color of ratsnest lines per net so adding line thickness to that proposal makes more sense than creating a separate wish list bu

As nothing more than an example, here is another tool facing the same issue. I've colored one net's ratsnest green (others are still blue) and you can see pins at orthogonal locations to each other get a zig (or is that a zag?) so the individual pins on the net can still be easily identified.

This is a new feature which should be merged during v6. I still haven't gotten around to reviewing and testing the curved ratsnest changes. I would like to take a look at the changes before we merge them. I'm also not completely sure curved air wires will be necessary once we implement the color

This might cause issues with Jon's work so we should let Jon merge his code first since I'm sure his changes are far more significant and then you will have to rebase against his changes. Hopefully it wont be too painful. On 2/9/19 1:00 PM, Jeff Young wrote: > Most of my 6.0 branch changesets are

Hi, I have a few questions about the plan of action for the start of the v6 development window. I feel that since the 5.1.0 bug list[1] is dwindling, there are probably a few people around who are just waiting for a green light on v6. So that they can organise any pending patches better, I'd like
