@blind_via The biggest impediment for predefined drill pairs being easily accessible is the UX. If you have good suggestions for how people should be able to access them and edit them, wiring that up is straight forward.

User requests KiCAD PCB feature on X
5 days later, KiCAD replies back with requested feature
Now that is what I call good feedback loop.
Pre-defined drill pairs for blind and buried vias when? 😜

@noeliascotti @blind_via Here you go. Follows Wan-Hoorfar 2000 improvement on Svacina 1992's base paper.

@noeliascotti @blind_via That is an excellent suggestion. Give us a day or two

@blind_via Regarding Kicad, another problem is the lack of soldermask. It can cause a difference between one or two ohms in the impedance compared to other calculators.
BlindVia@blind_via
Impedance calculation will vary slightly depending on what calculator you are using to determine your trace thicknesses. Famously, PCB designers can get Saturn PCB ToolKit that has an impedance calculator. However, the Fabricators mostly use paid software called Polar. And the results you get between the 2 vary enough to cause issues with the fabricator accepting your impedance calculations. This is why it's a good reason to check with your intended fabrication house before committing to trace thicknesses in your complex design for controlled impedance. KiCAD has its own calculator, but it does not cover asymmetric stack up calculations at all, so I can't use it for those kinds of impedances calculations.

We've been saying this for years. Glad to see @HQ_NextPCB getting some love. You can use their plug-in directly in KiCad and help support the project at the same time

wait I had no clue nextpcb can be cheaper than jlcpcb for prototypes. That's insane

Weird how this has never happened to me with FOSS like KiCad or FreeCAD

@IanSJohnston What was the issue number? Let's get it fixed for the future
English
@kicad_pcb @noeliascotti asymmetric strip line configuration options as well please 🙏

@IanSJohnston Please report the bug. Say what you would like KiCad to do and include your files

Have to say, the continuing bad experiences I’ve had with major Kicad updates in relation to my custom libraries/paths is eroding my confidence in Kicad as a whole.
7 to 8, then 8 to 9 and now 9 to 10 repeating the issue of losing my library configurations just proves that Kicad devs are not listening, there’s plenty evidence out there. Yes I am a donator.
No other software I use breaks like Kicad does on major upgrades.

@kicad_pcb Would you ever make a compact mobile suite version for tablets?

@kicad_pcb Why installed plugins are missing?
Why Linux version has icons for menu but not MacOS version?
You are changes version so quickly but keeping the same old bugs 😐
English
@ShadowlessLabs We are unlikely to devote resources to building a mobile version. Although we do support ARM architectures for Windows, Mac and Linux. Thus, any mobile platform that is powerful enough to run these operating systems will be able to run KiCad.
English
@kicad_pcb Any potential for a mobile version in the future? Android and iOS devices are getting more and more capable to do serious hardware design. We just need the software. I suppose footprint management could be tricky however
