Look this is maybe bug. Now only two times, but first time I think it was my error: create array delete track near board edge. I think it is maybe my error in select all.
Now second time two tracks disappear are middle of board.
Create arrays is very useful make Panel. (And now anyone say, pcb manufacturer make panelizing etc crap. If anyone think so, it is not my problem- it person can freely use pcb manufacturer who make panelizing. I does not use. I make panel myself.Reason I write this is simply: I really not ask can pcb manufacturer make panel. If anyone think I ask this, simply, he is wrong :D. ) Okay. So, create array is useful for this use.
First I think panel: scoring lines, gap etc, and typically I make panel lines in external cad. Then I import it to Kicad. But, this is not important.
Create panel with create array:
- Switch all layers you need on
- Select all (no difference “select by drag” or “ctrl-A”)
- Special tool, create array
- eg. 2, 2 spacing horizontal 56+10 (pcb 56, gap 10 mm), vertical 83+10, offsets 0 and 0, stagger 1, type rows, KEEP EXISTING
So, this make 2x2 panel. I try this again with same pcb and I can repeat. In this boar I can see:
- Select all (ctrl-A or drag-select) all items and tracks etc are selected
- but in this board create array remove two track
So… is it any special I can check? Looks create array is not reliable. It is not any tool inspect board- only way is inspect it manually, track by track, with eyes.
