I would kill for some more in-depth parametric CAD features in the footprint and board editors. It'd make placement and drawing a lot better if I could specify constraints instead of working in terms of measurements. I'm not so sure what the UI for this would be in an EDA tool, but I still want it.
Coming from the CAD world of Solidworks I find this topic of placing and measuring componets frustrating. Why I can´t just say ok component you should be 20 mm from the edge, or you shoud be parallel with that IC ? .... I really hope they will improve on this in the future.
LOVING the 5.0 videos. Thanks for the help

Nice review/tech tip 👍
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Super useful! I feel a bit dumb for doing this the hard way for so long... 😐

Hello. Sorry but I can't see the "N" measurement icon. I have kicad 5.1 on ubuntu. Could you help me find that! Thanks.
Looks like it is about time for me to switch to 5.0
Oh man, I'm going to Ctrl+M like nobody's business :-)
I could not repeat your steps. KiCad 5.1.5-3 does not have Move item with Move Relative to section.
