Smooth/Rounded Differential Pairs

There’s a plugin that “melts” your traces to make them smooth, but unfortunately it makes it impossible to further edit the traces after you smooth them. It would also unavoidably introduce DRC violations.

I’ve seen many EasyEDA designs that utilizes this future, does anyone know how EasyEDA does their track smoothing?

Will there be a similar feature coming to KiCad in the future?

It’s not something I’ve heard discussed. And while they’re aesthetically pleasing, for single traces, anything below approx. 10GHz doesn’t care about trace corners, let alone curved traces. (E.g. RF PCB Routing: Curved vs. Mitered Bends in PCB Design - Zuken US ).

If you are doing multi-GHz design then that’s a different story!
