Prevent schematic traces from being draw...
Hi, I am trying to solve issue https://github.com/tscircuit/core/issues/1264 but I'm having trouble finding a good solution. The idea that comes to mind is to introduce 'keep-out' regions in the space where the solver is not allowed to place line traces. This would require adding a new parameter to the InputProblem to define the dimensions of the text labels. Am I on the right path?

core will be passing the netLabel widths to the trace-solver, I have made a PR sometime back about the netLabelWidth
I am looking into the NetLabel.ts file. Currently, I do not see any logic regarding how to obtain the width and height. A link to the PR would be great, so I can understand how you calculate the width.
This is the PR which is yet to merge in
core, but you shouldn't be blocked by this. You can create an example in trace-solver where the netLabels have the width and proceed with it.
https://github.com/tscircuit/core/pull/1322Thanks, I will make a test case and proceed with that
Just want to make a note: For this issue I think we should introduce a new pipeline phase that reroutes traces that go through net labels that were assigned "as a fallback" rather than introduce keepout areas outside of pins.
It is possible the keepout solution will work or even be better, but it has a "phantom netlabel routing" issue where traces won't be routed where net labels COULD be, which may look weird or counterintuitive in some cases
@Seve is the kind of solution you guys are looking for?

Yeah, It kind of looks good to me
Probably ok, it might be messier than doing “larger shifts”, but can look at pr to decide! Nice work!

ref: #1264
introduce a new solver that will run at the end and adjust the labels
@Rishabh Could you take a look at this comment you left? I fixed it up with some new logic https://github.com/tscircuit/schematic-trace-solver/pull/60#discussion_r2345881928
Sorry for retagging, but I put the last message in the wrong thread. Rishabh deleted that and putting it here!
