* Splitting curved traces (arcs) has been developed and proposed for inclusion in KiCad 8!! -- thank you dsa-t!
* I created a new issue "Add Net Painter tool" which would allow the user to apply nets to graphics and unassigned traces. UPVOTE it here:
gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16716
* I closed the 'make best effort when filleting' suggestion since it turns out you can fillet more than 2 track segments at once.
Thanks 👍
Have you try using the plugin?
The plugin is great if you have a board of 45's and 90's and want to smooth them. In my case I needed to follow the curvature of a round PCB.
Another idea: Could bezier curves be imported from SVG? It is not ideal but...
Yes they can, but you'd have to assign a net to each one. And you'd have to export your board layout, draw the curves, and then import back which could introduce errors.
