KiCad

Where is the Select all tracks option? (linux)

Asked by gratefulfrog

Hi!

I am a long time Kicad user, but recently I searched in vain for the option to "select all tracks" . My goal is to update all the track widths to their new net-class values.

Could anyone tell me where it is, now?

Below, the version information, I run the latest Kicad and get daily updates.
Thanks,
Bob

There is no select all tracks option in Pcbnew. The easiest way to accomplish this is set the current track width to the net class width and use the change track segment width (E) hotkey. Unfortunately on complex boards this is not very convenient. This probably would be a useful tool to have in KiCad.

Indeed, that would be helpful, and it is a real shame that the ergonomy is
not being improved with all the daily releases.

Kicad is a fantastic tool but the ergonomics of using it are far from
optimal - If the developers could do some work in that direction, all the
community would benefit!

Cheers,
Bob
