It is possible to make parts of an element invisible (silk/pads/farside). It is possible to select parts of an element. It is possible to select an element without its pads. I can cut (ctrl-X) a selected element when the pads are not selected, so any operation on selected elements work even with the pads deselected. So naturally, I expect that invisble pads are not selected. I'd also expect to select visible elements and far-side pads even when pads/pins are invisible. Currently, when I turn off pins/pads, I cannot select an element, not even elements/pads on the visible far side. NB, while we are talking about pins/pads: One feature request I have is an option to make pads invisible but keep the pins visible, so I can review an inner layer with pins unobscured by pads. -- Stephan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
