Seems not to work for

PCB version 20110918 GTK+

Tried

Cursor[0 0 2.000000]

or

# Cursor[0 0 2.000000]

first only in the file with my traces, then also in the main pcb file.

But the imported traces seems to appear at an arbitrary position, maybe
related to the current position of the mouse pointer on screen.

But this behaviour is not a great problem -- for current testing
manually positioning is good enough.

Best regards,
