Newer versions will draw the rat lines with partial transparency, which is a big help as well. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD http://www.ben.com/ ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Add this to $HOME/.pcb/settings : rat-thickness = 3 That forces it to be 3 pixels instead of a fixed size. Values 0..19 are pixels; anything larger is PCB units (i.e. 100 means "1 mil"). ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
gEDA-user: rat width
I am working on a design with a lot of small parts and pcb's default rat width is too wide to see what I'm doing. I don't see a setting for this. Where should I look?
