kicad 7.0 differential pairs route is hard to route to pad
Description
I compared the differential signal wiring functions of kicad6.0 and kicad7.0.1.
Differential pair route is easy on Kicad 6.0. When the mouse is placed on a pad, it will generate a connection. but in kicad 7.0.1 differential pair route when the mouse is placed on a pad, It does not prompt for connections.
kicad 6.0 route: test_diff_pairs_kicad6.0.zip
kicad 7.0.1 route: test_diff_pairs_kicad7.0.zip
I have tried route start on pad, it also hard connect too. I did more testing:
- use kicad 7.0.1 open kicad 6.0 project, it route easy.
- use kicad 7.0.1 copy kicad 6.0 PCB to kicad 7.0.1 PCB, only kicad 6.0 part route easy, the kicad 7.0.1 part route hard.
Steps to reproduce
- open the project
- open PCB Editor
- route from via to resistance pad
- put mouse on resistance pad
