Hello Geert
Were did the microwave toolbar go? I cannot find it anymore. Is there
a replacement?
At Application: KiCad PCB Editor x86_64 on x86_64 Version: 8.0.6,
release build (Flatpack) there is no microwave toolbar anymore.
But of course, there is a replacement. You can use the microwave tools
by invoke the tools by hotkeys. Because at default, there are no hotkeys
assignet to the microwave tools, so you have to assign them by yourself
by using in
the PCB-Editor from the upper button bar "preferences" > "preferences" >
"hotkeys". There is a long list, and at the bottom of the list, you
will somewehre find the tools "add microwave polygonal shape", "add
microwave gap", "add microwave line", add microwave stub" and "add
microwave arc stub". You can invoke the assignment tool by doubleklick
to a line.
Because most keyboard patterns are already used as hotkeys, you have to
search vor unused patterns. I found, that Ctrl+Shift+F8 to
Ctrl+Shift+F12 are unused by default at my version of KiCad.
There much more funktions you could use in the pcb-editor by invoking
them. just look at
