I think, PCB need some additional features:


1. split PIN/PAD Layer in two Buttons PIN and PAD.
2. make it possible, that the "auto enforce DRC clearance" works also
while moving lines.

3. the algorithm for "auto enforce DRC clearance" could be modified,
that the line will be lay around the barrier?
