It's been a LOOOONG time since I've used AutoCAD. I do recall it having some strange quirks about the way it did "rubber band" selections. I do recall using the keyboard a lot more too, but then again, a mouse was a $150 luxury back then as well on a 12 MHz IBM AT.

"In working with KiCad, I have become frustrated with the user interface as well. Perhaps the way KiCad works is the norm for such packages, maybe not. If KiCad had an interface that more closely mimicked the generally-accepted norms for mouse gestures it would be less frustrating to learn." Well. It resembles "ordinary" CAD-packages, like AutoCAD where you tend to use the keyboard more. - Anders Gustafsson Engineer, CNE6, ASE Pedago, The Aaland Islands (N60 E20) www.pedago.fi phone +358 18 12060 mobile +358 40506 7099 fax +358 18 14060 ------------------------------------ Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question.
