'Grow' traces #34

Open hzeller opened 7 years ago

hzeller commented 7 years ago

Sometimes it is useful for ease of manufacturing and current carry capability to widen traces as final step. This should be automated.

Once everything is routed, provide a feature to automatically grow traces (of certain classes, e.g. power). This means: increase trace thickness of each segment while allowed by design rules. Adjacent traces that should grow share each half of the space.

The original trace thickness should be preserved, so that it is possible to reset everything (and also while drawing just show the original size).
