Comment 11 for bug 594089

Hi,

I took the code from the repo few weeks ago. revno 4777. I've not done "up" since, but I highly doubt something has changed on this area. I'm verry unfamilliar with bazar. I will try to do a branch if it is possible in lanchpad. So here is the current code, for the mean time, if you want to test. Simply past the folders in the kicad folder before compiling.

To my mind obstacle avoidance does not require PNS. We can calculate a more complex shaped bounding box, by exploring the surrounding, in such way that inside the bonding box we can draw anything. We can then hopefully find a neat algorithme to calculate a curve inside the bouding box, of the desired length.

To my experience it often happens that there appear artefacts, and the displayed trace length is either 0 or the length of a fraction of the trace. This happens when there are multiple segment at a place that does not get correctly merged.

By the way funny thing I got on that because I'm building a board based on imx233. By the way thanks so much your kicad library very helpfull. There is an image of your routing in your repo , and you don't seem to have length matched RAM routing? It's hard for me to see how important it is. (Because I 've done a first board and i had routed it very cheaply, because I did not know. Capacitors where way to far from the imx. It kept rebooting in the midle of u-boot, now i'm rerouting and trying to make sure it boots).

Pierre.
