With the GAL backend when new footprints are found in the netlist file, they will be loaded, spread out, and be ready for you to place as a group where you would like. With the legacy backend when new footprints automatically (using the command Global Spread and Place accessed via the right mouse button). Here is the result of such automatic arrangement: Note If a board is modified by replacing an existing footprint with Deleting incorrect tracks Pcbnew is able to automatically delete tracks that have become incorrect as a result of modifications. To do this, check the Delete option in the Unconnected Tracks box of the netlist

corresponding footprint or pad in the PCB (if one exists) and vice-versa. By default, cross-probing will result in the display centering on the cross-probed item and zooming to fit. You can disable the centering pads. Positive clearance values will result in the shape of the solder mask or paste opening being larger than the copper shape. Negative clearance values will result in the opening being smaller than shape of the arc or circle. Setting this to a lower number than the default value of 0.005mm will result in smoother shapes, but can be very slow on larger boards. The default value typically results in

NOTE Zone filling is a manual process rather than occurring every time an object changes that would result in a change to the zone copper. This is because zone filling can be a slow process on older computers default, chamfers and fillets are not added to inside corners of the zone outline, because this would result in filled copper extending outside the outline. If smooth inside corners are desired, enable the example, if a zone is set to use 0.2mm clearance but its netclass is set to use 0.3mm clearance, the result will be an 0.3mm clearance. Minimum width controls the minimum size of narrow necks of copper created
