There should be an option to change the relative text position.

Update: Tom is already working on this.

\* DRC
|
|
|
KiCad and Altium DRC capabilities are two different worlds at the
|
|
|
moment. Unfortunately, it might be a long process to introduce more
|
|
|
complex DRC rules in KiCad, especially that it requires model refactor
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
use the geometry library.
|
|
|
Rule types:
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Track width/via size: min/preferred/max values, instead of a single
|
|
|
one
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Net antennae (dangling tracks)
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Matched/max track length
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Component height
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Power plane/polygon connect style (direct/relief)
|
|
|
Principles:
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- Assigning priorities to rules
|
|
|
|
|
|
\- More detailed target specification (net/net class/layer/board
|
|
|
area/component/item type or properties? possibly combined using logical
|
|
|
operators)
|
|
|
\- Export/import rules
