Hi Juan, Thanks a lot for your explanation. I was able to change the width of lines and PCB edges. Hmmm ... Seems that the KiCad team has still a way to go to make KiCad even more user friendly. It would be nice to have a dialog box where one could edit e.g. line x/y starting/end position and the width. Would make the positioning of drawing elements such as PCB edges much easyier. However, KiCad is such a great tool that it is OK to wait a while for such improvements. Let's see how the new polygon functions will work. I am keen to see the next release beg. of 2009!!!! Best regards, Manuel
