TheSwede: Ok, I don’t know what to say so let’s cancel this topic. There’s no need to cancel anything, but you could tell for example what means: TheSwede: to be able to more easy service/disassemble/assemble some through hole connectors. I can only guess based on this and your other posts that you might want to solder THT connectors manually and want to prevent too much heat dissipation away from the solderable surfaces. I also guess that copper pours/zones/planes are the problem, not ordinary tracks. If my guess is correct, the only situation when they may be a problem is with GND/powe ..read more

Piotr: And not sure but I think I have heard that it is good if there are no big differences in amount of PCB surface covered by copper at both sides. It’s possible that it’s about the PCB bending during soldering in the oven, but I’m not sure. Right, this is the so-called Balance Copper Distribution. In addition to reducing ground line impedance and voltage drops a balanced distribution avoids Bow or Twist formation ..read more

Hi there. Got it installed through my laptop nativly and i found that its working buts a bit of a stutter. We its behaving with my java IED installed on the same laptop with my cad program ..read more

What error messages are you seeing? If it’s not installing how can you run it? Those CPU/GPU specs are very low for W11. Maybe time for a upgrade ..read more

I guess there is still a mismatch between your expectations. I suggest you draw something similar in KiCad, make a screenshot in the 3D viewer just like BlackCoffee did, and if there is still some part you don’t understand, post your expectations and the observed result, (and the differences between them). If you have a concrete question, we can answer it ..read more

I guess it’s difficult to comprehend what you mean with this picture: because there is absolutely nothing remarkable about it. It is completely bog standard and KiCad produces PCB’s like that without doing anything special. And therefore, the questions still remains, where is the mismatch between your thoughts and your post ..read more

TheSwede: In other words, chosen pad layers for a specific component should be possible to release from the net on top and bottom (or whatever preferred layers) It’s all about: • What you want to do • Your knowledge of Kicad • Your Settings I recommend Trial & Error testing/playing-around Image below shows THT PinHeader, THT/SIP, Connector-Pin and Mixed Net’s. Your setting will most likely give DRC/ERC Error and may not connect until you change the settings and/or DRC/ERC and Interactive-Router settings. If I understand correctly (and, I may Not understand correctly) Nonetheless, as you ..read more
