I swear I just got RSI working for an afternoon with a commercial schematic capture / layout tool (Proteus) which our Electronics people push / recommend. Clicking through menus and pop ups to change track / pad sizes. If there was a keyboard shortcut (or a way to configure one), it beat me.. I did get lost in config-dialog hell for a bit too. (Not that config dialogs are bad.. just these weren't particularly well designed). Unfortunately, I need to learn it a bit so I can help students on a project. Its not all bad though, some things are quite nice, and I saw features I wished PCB had, even if using it did make my muscle memory ache. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
