    We might get a geometric constraints solver in #KiCad

    I don't know much about it. But there is an open MR gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/

    From the commit message:
    > It lets users attach geometric and parametric constraints to PCB and
    footprint graphics so dependent geometry is re-derived on edit, instead
    of converting every relative datasheet measurement to an absolute number
    by hand.

    The solver is FreeCAD's planegcs, vendored under thirdparty with pcbnew
    owning the adapter
