Hi, In the new version do:
1. Click on the starting point with right button. 2. Release the right button and begin to draw. Regards, Pedro. > My job is just to design new circuits and provide them as schematics. Then the product factories I cooperate with, do the rest mainly the drawing of the PCB layouts. > > So for many years I use, with thanks, Kicad (version 2007-01-15) to draw schematics only. > Lately I liked to use PCBNEW to draw some layouts myself. First I downloaded the newest version (KiCad-2009-02-16-final-WinXP_autoinstall) and installed it on my PC that runs Windows XP. > Perhaps by a mere coincidence, I liked first to draw a line (polygon) on the drawing layer. But the cursor while it looks like a pen, worked as a block selector instead. Obviously I had doubt that I am missing something so I returned back to the previous version on which, for the drawings, everything went fine. > > May I add that once (perhaps twice) and while trying to draw lines (polygons) on the new version (PCBNEW), the cursor suddenly started to do its job but I couldn't know what I did just before it. > > Since the old version is good for me, I wrote this message here just as a feedback (I usually read all messages here, and I don't remember reading about this... but I am sorry if my memory is short... I am 60 after all) > > >
