Just pushed a big workflow upgrade for tracing nets. The Inspector now includes Smart Naming to automate the tedious part of documenting connectivity.
- Auto-Suggestions: When you add a net node, the tool auto-generates the name (e.g., R1.1). It calculates distance and angle to pick the right component, and even handles board rotation and bottom-side mirroring automatically.
- Collision Handling: If R1.1 is already taken, it smartly suggests R1.2.
- Cheat Sheet: Added a built-in pinout guide (click the ? in the input box) so you don't have to remember things like Tantalum polarity.
Note: This magic relies on your Component REFs. The more components you map in the BOM first, the smarter the suggestions become!
