Per, I looked at your board and I have a couple of questions, not regarding the crash: 1. When making the pcb symbols, how do you draw the boxes around the components? With my settings they turn up in white/gray. The component body shows in purple. I can only manage to draw one type of lines when editing the components, but I want do draw them like you do. One line color for the actual component body, and one line color for the recommended inter component spacing. 2. When making holes in the board that you don't want to be plated, What method do you use to give the board manufacturer a list of the holes that you don't want plated? Great to see someone doing complex boards in pcbnew ! // Magnus
