You can change them from the source... BUT, the 'increments' panel does not do anything. This is a longstanding bug, which has gone unfixed because nobody has taken the time to decide what to do for default values (and limits), now that we have a plethora of different units to choose from. See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/699464 There is a way to change the increment values through the command prompt (accessible by pressing ':') but I cannot recall what it is off the top of my head. -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew "I don't understand.
