I’d like to request the ability to route (connect pins) within the Pattern Editor.
Consider a custom pattern to accommodate components with different pin spacings. For example, a pattern might be needed to accommodate either the SOT-23 or the TO-92 package. (This is just a simple example, I’m looking at a similar issue with 26 pins).
I can create the combined patterns, and use the new ‘@‘ feature to group ‘like’ pins, but I still get ratlines in the PCB Editor that have to be individually routed. If there are many such occurrences on a board, this gets tedious. If the pins could be connected in the Pattern Editor, they wouldn’t have to be routed in the PCB Editor.
Thanks
Add routing to pattern editor
Re: Add routing to pattern editor
Thank you for the suggestion but we don't plan to add routing in Pattern Editor because it would require significant changes in file formats of all DipTrace files.
