Bug Description

It would be great to have "Drag Track Keep Slope" (hotkey "D") functionality implemented for differential pairs.

Currently when I press "D" in "Route Differential Pair" tool and try to drag a 45 deg track of a differential pair the space between tracks of the diffpair is not preserved.

Planned, but not before we'll have added support of differential pair constraints to pcbnew's file format - it needs to store the gap values somewhere so that we know how much to push each complementary net.

Cheers,
Tom

It seems differential pair constraints are now kept in the kicad_pcb file (nightly builds) so hopefully this functionality will be implemented in not so distant future :)
