Charras: Thank you for your reply. Are there any plans to make this behaviour configurable, so the user can turn it off if desired?
Earlier in the forum I asked a question that no-one has responded to. Currently, if I want one segment of a track to be narrow, (between pads for example), I must draw the complete track, then go back and change individual segment widths as required. But in much older versions of PCBnew, it was possible to change the width of the current segment while drawing a track, without changing the segments that had already been drawn. I very much miss this feature. Are there any plans to bring it back? Also, are there any plans to allow the user to turn off the net name display in PCBnew? The net names cause a problem when, for example, the only place for a component name is on top of a net name. This makes both texts unreadable. Thank you for all of the work you have put into this wonderful software; I have made 10 or 12 PCB's with it, and I now have enough experience that I feel confident to start asking questions and being part of the community.
