How to copy line art from one PCB to another

I also did it origininally tried 5.1.6 on windows and Gentoo so it might have been a bug

Paul, you are a genius! :stuck_out_tongue:

It works like that for me, the only thing, I needed to change some values from the plot dialog to get the correct result:

Mmmm, playing around with the PLOT dialog, I think I identify a bug:

If the plot format is DXF the “Default line with” cannot be edited, the way around this is to change the plot format to GERBER, change the value and then change back to DXF format, the value cannot be edited, but it stays with the last value

.

Found the v6 merge request

Actually, I got copy and paste to work.

  • Highlight want you want to copy (left drag)
  • Then select copy from context menu (right click)
  • Then choose copy point (left click)

Once you have done this then you can paste in the other kicad_pcbnew file.

If it worked like other apps then I should have been able to do this:

  • Highlight want you want to copy (left drag)
  • Type control-c

Once you have done this then you can paste in the other kicad_pcbnew file.
