without having ticked the "Remove Isolated Copper" box
I don't know if "Remove Isolated Copper" is available as a standard feature on all of the
- FREE - PCB design programs. As an example, I just learned that one of the other
- FREE - PCB design programs that is available for use does
- NOT - provide
"connection junction dots" within their schematic program and the response I got back from their Technical Support is that, as a company, they are "perfectly fine" with that train of thought!!! I wrote back relating that even hand-drawn schematics back in the 1960's had
"connection junction dots" and if this is the type of CAD software that they are going to put onto the market, then I am deleting their software off of my computer!!! How could anyone effectively review a schematic diagram and then not be able to immediately discern whether or not a crossing horizontal and vertical line make a connection or not??? You should
- NOT - have to either "assume" or "guess" whether or not a circuit connection is made on a schematic. A schematic connection should be both visually clear and easily understood!!! PERIOD!!!
