Grouping things and moving it as a whole would be wery welcome. Though for just this case showed in the video, you could use a footprint as I have in: http://aspodata.se/git/openhw/share/pcb/_mechanical/bopla_euromas_210.fp I just wounder how to convert that to a subcircuit. > Testing is welcome!

In "on-screen indication of subc" you mentions largish elements. When I design in a enclusure I use footprint for the enclosure and by definition all other things comes inside that footprint. How would this new indication help ? Regards, /Karl Hammar ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Aspö Data Lilla Aspö 148 S-742 94 Östhammar Sweden +46 173 140 57
