Set the Net of a copper Zone
Summary
We would like to be able to set the Net of a copper Zone through the API.
Reproduction steps
def make_zone(board: Board) -> None:
net = Net()
net.name = "GND"
outline = PolyLine()
zone_points = [(100, 100), (110, 100), (110, 110), (100, 110), (100, 100)]
for x, y in zone_points:
outline.append(PolyLineNode.from_xy(from_mm(x), from_mm(y)))
cutout = PolyLine()
cutout_points = [(102, 102), (108, 102), (108, 108), (102, 108), (102, 102)]
for x, y in cutout_points:
cutout.append(PolyLineNode.from_xy(from_mm(x), from_mm(y)))
polygon = PolygonWithHoles()
polygon.outline = outline
polygon.add_hole(cutout)
zone = Zone()
zone.type = ZoneType.ZT_COPPER
zone.layers = [BoardLayer.BL_F_Cu]
zone.outline = polygon
zone.island_mode = IslandRemovalMode.IRM_NEVER
zone.border_style = ZoneBorderStyle.ZBS_SOLID
# zone.net = net # There is no settr for net.
# TODO: Set the net for the copper zone.
board.create_items([zone])
board.refill_zones()
