Drawing rectangles

Axel Rau All Messages By This Member #23317 Hi all, simple question: How can I define a rectangle for the edge cut? With the rectangle tool I can draw quadrates by clicking at start and end point. A rectangle is shown when I drag from the start point, but I can’t make it persistent (do I need to double click there? I tried.) Using inspect with the measure tool on the quadrat does not allow me to change dimensions to a rectabgle. This is 6.0.6 on macos 10.15.7 Axel --- PGP-Key: CDE74120 ? computing @ chaos claudius
Jorge Ferreira All Messages By This Member #23318 Hi Using Kicad 5.1.12 I use the "add graphic lines" tool. Click at the start point, click once every corner and double click at the last (first) corner to close. The result is one line between each 2 corners. AFAIK it still works in Kicad 6.

But it is clumsy, if you have to use a fine grid. The rectangle tool being constraint to a quadrate looks like a bug in 6.0.6 to me. Axel --- PGP-Key:?CDE74120 ?? ?computing @ chaos claudius
Andy All Messages By This Member #23320 I always used the cursor keys, not the mouse when I want precise control. Also the rel org figurers keep things on track I select the start point, hit space to zero the rel co-ords then place the line with the cursor keys. You can use the values in the rel or-ords to ensure that you are aligned with a side or corner. Andy On Thu, 30 Jun 2022 13:17:54 +0200 "Axel Rau" <Axel.Rau@...> wrote: Thanks for your answer.
