My main concern is, whether the new 6th version of KiCAD can:
a) SELECT MULTIPLE OBJECTS and CHANGE a COMMON PROPERTY (like a text size, via diameter, trace width, etc.). Without this, it is still a toy PCB CAD. Having to click hundreds of objects one by one, making 5 clicks or so to change a trace width or whatever, is beyond annoying.
b) MAKE CURVED TRACES. My first task in KiCAD at my former employer was to draw a curved flex-PCB and it was almost an impossible job to do. I needed to hack around it by drawing the stuff in a graphical editor, export in DXF, import in some other (not Cu, mind you) layer and then manually switch the imported lines to a F.Cu / B.Cu layer piece by piece, arc by arc. God I hated the KiCAD since!
c) So does it finally allow to import DXF into a copper layer? Someone ingenious decided that the import DXF dialog does not contain a copper layer as a selection.
d) Allow a graphical object to become an electrical one too. Like for example, how is one supposed to connect a PCB antenna pattern (or any other distributed element structure) to an electrical net? Even if you manage to go through b and c steps above, you still can not connect it electrically and need to use hacks.
e) Allow to switch the annoying quadrant IV operation into a Quadrant I, such as almost all CADs use. Yes, I am talking you, the flipped Y axis.
These are some of the stuff why I have not considered using the KiCAD so far personally, but hell I would like to!
So do you know if any of the stuff above got any improvement or at least an option is available?
