I am trying to get the "product" main development branch of kicad built on Windows so we can use the new manual router.Here is CERNs next addition - a new footprint editor - http://vimeo.com/99235812 - still in its own branch but will be moved to "product" after testing.Andrew B

You guys must be far better than me at Routing. I had the hardest time just pushing & shoving a few traces on the 68K board. In the end I just deleted the trace and let the xxx program redo it.
In KiCad how do you move a via. If I select one, it moves one side but I cannot connect the other side back to the original trace. Seem you cannot connect a via to a dead end trace.
For complex boards I think it would be difficult for most of us to hand do them. Does anybody know if the KiCad writers are going to enlarge the KiCad program to auto-route like DipTrace etc.
Manual routing just got a whole lot better thanks to CERN. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCG4daPvuVI This will make your manual routing issues (dragging vias, for instance) much easier to deal with.Are you in fact running the latest version of KiCad?Kyle
