Change in 'pickup width' behaviour?

Layout
1

IIRC the ‘pickup width’ function (or whatever it’s called)

kicad_Sczulrnxxo

picked up the width AND the layer when hovering over a pad/trace and pressing ‘X’ . Now it only picks up the width.

Does anyone known whether that is an intentional change or am I simply delirious?

just checked with Application: KiCad PCB Editor x64 on x64, Version: 7.99.0-2888-g3ee2086f95, release build, Win10, from 22.09.

starting the route-command with “X” respects the layer of the existing track/pad.
But this works only in normal display mode, not in dim/hide display mode.

or I’m simply delirious?

very dangerous question … :slight_smile:

Nope. Refer to video (for the blue track I switch to B.Cu, ‘V’)

FWIW: 7.0.7 works as expected.
