Enhancement: make trace clearance supports arcs #44

Closed CGrassin closed 7 months ago

CGrassin commented 1 year ago

Currently, the trace clearance tool cannot be used along the track rounder because it does not see arcs as tracks. It would be nice if it was able to compute a clearance area for arcs.

@CGrassin thanks for pointing this out... a possible workaround would be when there is an arc to convert it to polyline (like in old RF-tool option) and apply the clearance function to the approximated curve, and finally remove the temporary generated support

Just want to second that this would be a super helpful feature 👍

I was unable to get your workaround to work in KiCad 7.0.9.
