Re: Unpredictable Track Drag Behaviour
|
I have always put this behaviour down to exactly which pixel the mouse pointer is over when i press 'd'. If it happens to be over the join between the two segments then it thinks I want to make a corner, but when I press escape and try 'd' again I think the mouse pointer has moved far enough it is no longer over the segment join and goes into drag mode.
If I select a track segment in kicad 6, or just hover over it, when I
press 'd' more often than not kicad will create a corner at the point
where I pressed d and then start dragging the corner around.? ?Sometimes
it wont create a corner, but rather it will start dragging the end point
of the segment.? ?And sometimes it will do what I want it to do, and
drag the segment, just as kicad has done for as long as I can remember.
? If it fails to simply drag the segment, pressing 'Esc' and 'd' again
will usually drag the segment as required, but not always.
Can anyone explain this seemingly random behaviour please, and how I can
get control over it?? ?Normally I just want to drag a segment, but
sometimes dragging a corner is useful.? ?However, pressing 'd' over a
corner does not (necessarily) cause the corner to be dragged.? ?As for
creating a corner to be dragged, I can't say I've ever wanted to do that.
Regards,
Robert.
