Hello all!
Hope it is correct place for my question.
Sorry, English is not my native language, also it looks that I'm trying to formulate this question
using incorrect technical thermins, so I can't find answer by googling and on this forum.
My question is regarding drawing of filled zones in KiCad's PCB layout editor.
If I have some pads that belongs to same net, and their placement forms something like "islands" (pads grouped together and there is
no pads from other nets between them), I can connect such pads with filled zone.
But if geometry of such "islands" is complicated, it is very hard to edit form of such filled zone.
Is it possible in KiCad's PCB layout editor make something like this:
-First fill all layer with copper (<no net>), so there is one big filled area;
-Second somehow "cut-out" "islands" of pads of same net by drawing cut lines or "borders" of new smaller zones using mouse;
-Finally, assign net name for each of new smaller zones?
In other words: cut one big filled zone into smaller ones, instead of place many smaller zones one by one?
I found "Add zone cut-off" tool, but it just cuts some geometric figure from filled zone, and I can't cut it into new smaller zones
with this tool.
