I haven't laid out a board with the latest stable version so I can't say for sure but I don't remember having this problem with the previous stable version. > > >>From a UI perspective, I would not prefer to have to set the default > width to zero to say, "leave me alone". > > I would prefer to select a checkbox saying override the line-widths, or NOT. A check box would be preferable. Setting the line width to 0 is less than obvious to the user. Currently, setting the line width to 0 will set the aperture to 0 which in itself might be consider a bug. I confirmed this with BZR 2595.
