Point of view about routing Complex PCB with Kicad diff pair / length matching

[rab78]

Hi to all,
I use some PCB routing tools for different kind of circuits. Eagle/Altium/MW Office

I recently noticed that Kicad freeware tool after CERN support they added some tricky and useful tools such as differential pair / length matching.

Only for my curiosity, does anyone tested these features? Are these intiutive and easy to use for you?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, and easy to use. I think there is a tutorial/example video somewhere on their site that demonstrates the facility. I can't confirm myself but I think it even works if you drag/push/shove differential pair tracks around the board.

Thank you very much, I'll try as son as possible because since last time (2008) I didn't tested.

Hi,

Btw:
EAGLE is able to route differential pairs, too. I´ve done this already.
And it has the meander command. But I never used it.
