Add pad in PCB Editor does not seem to work properly
Description
In the hotkey list of the PCB Editor there is an "Add Pad"-command with no default hotkey assigned. I assigned the hotkey "Alt+P".
When I use that hotkey, it is possible to place a pad in the drawing area. However, I cannot move or edit the pad afterwards. When I reopen the PCB Editor, the pad will disappear.
Expected behavior:
- Edit and move the pad after it has been added
- No disappearing after restart of the PCB Editor
- (Entry in the "Place"-menu)
Adding a pad not belonging to a footprint would be a nice option. It could be implemented similar to the "Add Via" option.
Steps to reproduce
- Set hotkey for "Add Pad": Preferences -> Preferences -> Hotkeys (search for Add Pad an assign for instance Alt+P)
- Use the hotkey to place the pad
- It should be possible to place the pad in the drawing area
- Try to edit or move the pad afterwards
- Restart the PCB Editor, the pad should disappear
