Jun 29, 2026, 4:45 PMWe might get a geometric constraints solver in #KiCad
I don't know much about it. But there is an open MR https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/2663

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
