Re: Remove Hole Fill Protection

Yes, it is a pad. If I choose to make the pad and pour the same net, I first need to create a new net just for the pad. I don't see a way to do that. Second, once I do have a dedicated net for the pad, how do I assign the same net to the pour? I've looked but it doesn't seem obvious to me. Paul

Remove Hole Fill Protection

Periodically, I lay my TO-220 transistors flat onto the PC board. In doing so, I pour a small area as a heatsink under the transistor. However, the pour wants to protect the area around the screw hole. I want the pour to fill right onto the hole without any fill protection. To date, I've been cheati...

Display Hints No Longer Working

Display hints no longer work when hovering with a mouse. I have confirmed hints check selected in VIEW > DISPLAY HINTS. Same issue prevents me from getting a quick pop-up measurement using the ruler. In essence, all on-screen pop-ups no longer work. Anything to try?

Re: Auto-Ground Via Stitching

Ditto on this feature request. I just created a board with a double-sided ground plane and would like to automatically via-stitch both sides. This could be a sub-menu item under "Place Copper Pour." Within the sub menu, include default stitch diameter, stitch distance, and the pour's net t...
