probably a bug
Seve
simple_chip is a backup in many cases
Mustafa7
What should it be then? There is no "simple_solder_jumper" type
Seve
sometimes we can propose a new one but a solder jumper is more like a jumper
Seve
wondering why this is coming up btw
Mustafa7
for this, was trying to add solderjumper for textbounds of trace-solver input
Mustafa7
nvm

> What should it be then? There is no "simple_solder_jumper" type in SPICE modeled as a resistor with very small resistance and a switch. On schematics, zero ohm resistor with "optional" annotation. In PCB, it's probably just footprint, pads with solder mask or copper trace which acts as "do not place" constraint

another possibility is a fuse

As I understand, there are two solder jumpers: normally open (jumper_open, very close pads) and normally closed (jumper_bridge, net tie)
