Bug Description

Hi,
iI have a request to make:
insert in the calculator tool the function to calculate the diameter and the thickness of the copper of the vias according to the current they must support.

I think it's very useful.

Best regards
Alessandro Fabilli

What you are asking for sounds similar to what is already included in the Via Size calculator in the PCB Calculator application. Can you please explain what you would like to see that the Via Size calculator doesn't provide currently?

Sorry, but in PCB Calculator I find only the calculator of the track.
Where I find the calculator of vias?

Thanks

I took liberty to set the status to Fixed because such a feature exists in 5.99 as a new feature and the reporter had only 5.1.
