I have been using LibrePCB 1.2.0 and 1.3.0 with great results. I will be posting some of the projects soon. Some very busy boards! I am using it on Slackware 15.0, which is locked in at glibc 2.33…. so I will wait until the next Slackware stable release to take on librePCB 2.x, no problem!
I know there is a “correct” way to do this. But is there a workaround to this message “Pad is not connected to any signal” that I often get in the LibrePCB Board Editor when I try to “Draw Trace (W)”. Perhaps something that will globally turn off the error message?
I do my own “manual wiring” as the RF/Microwave boards often require serious bending of the design rules. But they work so nice!
Hi @WN2A, glad to hear you made some nice boards with LibrePCB
Hmm I suspect you actually want to not just turn off the message, but also to allow connecting traces to non-connected pads? Or do I misunderstand?
Currently there’s no way to suppress that message or to connect traces to non-connected pads. Maybe that will be possible some day when we implement a reverse-engineering mode where you draw the board first, and then create a schematic from it. But I’m not sure if that is what you’re looking for - honestly I’d be interested in more details what you actually try to achieve, maybe some screenshots would be helpful for me to understand your use-case
