Thanks for reply.

I found that patch and I want to try it, however it can not be applied to opengl version of PCB... Anyway I will try to understand the code and do it manually, generally I wish that I would be able to write some simple pcb plugins or do minor changes to the code. 


Best Regards,
Michael W.
