Hi all,
we have a new, optional feature in sch-rnd: rubber band wire move. You can
enable it using the Mode menu, Lines and nets submenu. Hotkey is {m r r},
like in pcb-rnd, because the feature is very similar to pcb-rnd's rubber
band mode. It is disabled by default for now.
When enabled:
- if you grab a wire line and move it, new wires are drawn from the new
endpoints of the wire line to the original endpoints, to keep the wirenet
connected
- the new wires drawn are any-dir wires by default; in this mode the goal
is to keep the wirenet connected, not to have a pretty drawing
- you can change this by enabling the orthogonal rubber band mode in the
same menu or using {m r o}. This will draw axis aligned wires
- I decided not to do rubber banding for terminal moves; gschem had that
feature, trying to preserve connections on pins, but whenever I tried to
move anything with more than 2 pins it all became a mess that then took
more time to clean up than if it simply didn't try to be smart. If there's
considerable user demand, I may add an optional feature for this too later
on.
- the current state of rubber banding is indicated in the bottom status
line, just like in pcb-rnd
Best regards,
Igor2
