I had tried transparent polygons with earlier versions of pcb and found it not very helpful because I selected the polygons all the time. Thin polygons are a better solution to the speed problem than regrouping layers. ---<(kaimartin)>--- PS: I added your hints to the wiki -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
