and manages in real time the hairline indication (rats nest) of missing tracks. The display of the PCB elements (tracks, pads, text, drawings...) is customizable: • In full or outline. • With or without degree. Pcbnew includes a Footprint Editor that allows editing of individual footprints that have been on a pcb or editing a footprint in a library. The Footprint Editor provides many time saving tools such interactive push and shove router, differential and meander trace routing and tuning, a reworked Footprint Editor, and many other features. Please note that most of these new features only exist in the new OpenGL
