I'm evaluating kiCAD. Is there a way to turn on rubber banding of the wires in the schematic editor?
When I drag a component it leaves the wires behind. When I try and drag a wire it only allows me to drag its segments. If I want to include the whole wire then I must rubber band select it, which then may also select a component that I may not want to drag. The editing features are not very intuitive. Usually, when working with graphical symbols, it is customary to just select the symbol with your pointer by left mouse button which then highlights it, then you simply drag it to where you want it to go (any connecting lines / wires should stretch with it). If you want to work with its properties you simply put the mouse pointer (or cross hears) over it and right mouse click (hit enter), which then brings up a speed menu with options that pertain to that object. In this menu you can even edit the symbol. I am evaluating TinyCad. It has very good editing features, and is reasonably intuitive, - but is not being updated. I think it would be a good idea to integrate the TinyCad package into the kiCAD package. This would be a vast improvement in the schematic entry part of the program.
