Also, can I define multiple lie width and change it on the fly while drawing?
defining multiple line width: I don’t know
change linewidth on the fly while drawing:
“E” hotkey during drawing opens the line properties dialog. You coul change the line width in this dialog and continue with drawing subsequent line segments. Note that the current line segment is ended at the position where you pressed the “E” key
CTRL plus “+” key: increase linewidth (by 0.1mm)
CTRL plus “-” key: decrease linewidth (by 0.1mm)
all mentioned hotkeys are for standard hotkey settings
In the selection filter in the bottom RH corner, only tick Graphics.
Then, make a left to right selection box that contains the whole graphical object.
Then edit the value now showing in the Properties panel on the LHS.
Make sure only Graphics is ticked, because if there is something else inside the selection box, eg. text; poor Kicad gets confused and won’t show the editable width in the Properties Panel.
It seems you can pull this stunt with other things listed in the Selection Filter. I have successfully tried footprints, tracks, pads, text, vias & graphics.
Note: this method only works if all the items in the selection and the Selection Filter are the same shape or width etc. If there are different thicknesses of track or graphics, or different shaped pads in the selection, Kicad says no.
I use a US keyboard intl. layout. The problem might be that my left ctrl key does not work so I need to use the right one… other shortcuts with the ctrl key work just fine though.
