Variable

Description

avoid_trace_widening

Enables the user to control adding tear drops that makes the trace wider.

In cases where two Pads are connected by a short trace, the added Tear Drops could widen the trace all along its length.  avoid_trace_widening was created to control the problem.
When avoid_trace_widening = yes, the action will limit the extension point to be no more than half the distance between the two entrance points. In such cases, these Tear Drops will be reported in the "Shortened Teardrops" category.
