Hello - i’ve been using KiCad for some time now but there is still something that is not too clear for me.
When you’re changing the schematic and adding new components, then save the netlist, update in PcbNew, the new components appear with ratsnest wires.
However when modifying the schematic (ie changing connections between the components), the PCB does not seem to provide a way to identify the tracks that are remaining (they’re still present).
the documentation states that:
however - as far as I can see (version 5.1.0.0)
- this option “Delete Unconnected Tracks” does not exist anymore in KiCad v5
- there is no DRC rule that identifies tracks between components that should not exist anymore
to be fair, the doc mentions that it is “quicker to modify such tracks by hand” - however I am searching for a way to identify all such tracks that should not exist anymore (I’m afraid I may miss a change, sometimes).
Thanks in advance,
