Re: [Kicad-developers] Making typed-in unit support more obvious

I'm just wondering if this will make typed in unit support more obvious or if it will lead to more confusion. I guess we could try it and see what happens. On 3/14/2018 11:19 AM, Jeff Young wrote: > Hi Wayne, > > The units would still be displayed, just in the box instead of out of it. We >
