Tapered tracks and gradual transistions for RF design

[maui]

Recently I did get some time to add this option to my RF-tools plugins:

1. smoothing tracks to pads

2. tapered tracks (traces with square ends)
3. smoothing traces (gradual transitions on different sizes)

Awesome, thanks a lot for that! Looks a bit off with round pads, but the zone can easily be modified to fit nicely. Thanks again!

for round pads, teardrop plugin is working quite well…
what I was missing was the way to smoothing the transition between a big track and a small pad, like in the first gif I posted

This looks nice. I wish I’ll remember this when I am doing my next board.

But the teardrop plugin (GitHub - NilujePerchut/kicad_scripts: Some kicad scripts) is only able to add teardrops to all pads and not only specific ones, a I right?

from the teardrops plugin’s README.md:

Add Teardrops

Select some vias/pads on which you want to add teardrops. Or don’t select anything to apply teardrops on all vias/pads

My bad, thanks again!
