Level up Your Custom Rules - KiCon Asia 2023

[@over2there]

I would recommend to add the presented Rules in the kicad rules example section

[@hardwareful]

In the introduction, one should directly say: "zone fills are generated based on custom rules where they apply, and thus such rules do not need to be considered in the context of DRC checks again. Otherwise, frankly, that would be a bug." 22:00 the name of the example (PTH in pad) is pin-in-paste for through-hole reflow. 24:30 oddly enough, 'F*' does not seem to apply to F.Cu, so it neither allows influencing zone fill with graphic items, nor can an error be generated when silkscreen is e.g. on RF traces sensitive to extra dielectric on top. 26:00 I keep pressing CTRL+F and wonder why no search bar pops up in the syntax help. I then keep copying the help text to notepad++... 34:46 custom rule for length matching: what you cannot do right now is e.g. to have a single rule that uses regex on the net class name to grab a length spec from that string, which would be cool
