I'm reverse engineering a PCB that I am trying to fix because schematics are not available for it. It's becoming more and more spaghettified as I get further into it and was hoping there was an easy way to re-arrange the components.
1) One thing would be nice is maybe to turn off the "Auto Connect" of wires. When I drag a component from point A to point B, if the wires overlap another pin on another component they automatically connect up.
2) Since I'm working backwards, components are not locked into their position on the sheet. For example, if I have an IC at M5, I could have it on the actual sheet at A1 and it doesn't care. It would be nice if I could have it move the component to where it actually should be on the sheet. It would be nice if I could position a component like "Move" and then it asks for the sheet location "M5" and then it calculates the position and moves the component there for me. Currently if I want to do this, it would require a TON of work as I cannot always see the numbers and letters on the sheet.
3) I also have the problem where the wires don't move with the component. Typically if I'm moving them left or right. For example, if I'm dragging the component to the right the wires on the right side will overlap the component. So what I have to do, is move all the wires by hand first, then move the component.
I can provide a video of the issues if that would help.
