One aspect of KiCad that is slowing me down is constantly having to confirm components in the “clarifying selection” pop-up box. If I’m working on top side of a PCB, and I have the Top layer active & the bottomside layer not visible (and in fact, all bottomside-related layers not visible), why does KiCad keep allowing me to select a now-hidden bottom side component? Is there some setting or configuration I’m not setting?
In other CAD tools I’ve used, typically if you make a layer not visible or not the ‘active’ layer, it won’t try to select those components or tracks.
In my particular design, it’s a very small PCB with a wearable that has a battery holder clip on the bottom side. Literally every time I click on a topside component, it’s making me confirm I meant the topside component, even though all bottom-side related layers are not visible.
thanks in advance,
