Anyway it is hard to grab the end, because I was moving some elements and wanted to change the length of some traces but all I was able to do was to move the whole trace. What I do is hide the silk layer. That prevents you from grabbing elements. But, then perhaps something like real

There is a setting for mouse snap to line ends snap distance, I think, but could not find it in the manual just now. Looks like it's fixed at 10 pixels, assuming nothing else gets in the way. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org
