It is about the 'a' key (clone attributes) and its effect on the route style selector. There are two discussions going on in that bug: 1. How should the route-style selector's status be changed when the user presses 'a'? Right now it does nothing. Probably if you clone an object that matches a known route style, it should switch to that style. If you clone an object that -doesn't- match a known style, should it do nothing? Should it switch to the closest known style? Should it create a new temporary style and switch to that? 2. How much should be switched? If you clone a via whose sizes match the 'Signal' style, should the trace width also change to 'Signal'? -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew "I don't understand.
