[SOLVED] PCBNew > Foot Print Editor: no bulk operations to change the layer for silkscreen?

I got a LOGO to adjust and I’m making the version for the layer F and the layer B.
I started and finished the F, now Im transfering on B.

But I can’t bulk select shapes and move them all at once. I have to do one by one:
Tedious operation.
Is there any shortcut?

Have you seen Edit->Edit text and graphic properties ?

I don’t see it into the Footprint Editor

Because it is not there. You did not mention you are in the footprint editor.

I thought it was clear, since it’s the only one place where I can edit the footprints. However, I added now into the title, so I hope there will be not any further misunderstanding

BTW, I have to mirror this because i have transferred to B layer … no functionality either for this …

Im’ sooooooo happy …

• How about exploring the standard tools when you Right-Click (…mirror…etc)

• Try Window-Boxing all the Lines, Copy (select a ref point), Paste into desired layer. Delete the one’s from the other layer if not needed…

Damn you’re right. You will never believe.

I did it several times. I didn’t find “mirror”. It was under my eyes :-/ My apologize

Found the bulk way!

It’s not EDIT it’s called “Change Side / Flip”
Which one guesses ti just change the side to work. Instead transfers the select objects on the other side

One thing I do when using software that’s new to me is:
• I try out every Menu Item and every Preference option and any/all other aspects. And Make Notes. And, I push the Tools/Features to the Limit of their ability…
