Thanks Vesa, I'll have a look through. At the moment I'm thinking as minimal a system as possible. I had thought about items like automatic scaling/rotation and feature recognition, but that's probably best done in a stand-alone app. I'll consider a 2-layer underlay. - Cirilo _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
