Use Improvements?

e14 Contributor

New user, so maybe I'm missing something.  But I would like to have these:

 

On most tools, once you select the tool and use it, a left click on a new item repeats the tool.  Would be nice if Properties worked this way.

 

For library maintenance, you can't remove a device, package or symbol unless you have that item open.  Would be nice to be able to delete anything without opening it first.

 

Would be nice to have a "Repeat" button so some operation on one item can be repeated on another.  A simple example is VALUE.

  • I just tried to remove a device from the library.  I got an error saying it

    could not remove it.  The device did exist as I saw it in the device list.

    I changed to another device and was then able to remove it.  I don't know

    what the restriction is that prevents removal, but there is one.

     

    Then, I wanted to change a bunch of PWR pins in my library to SUP pins.

    After doing "i" for info, clicking on the pin, clicking on the direction,

    pulling down to SUP, then clicking OK, it would be nice to click on the

    next pin and repeat without having to do all the clicks and mouse moves.

    This is the repeat feature I mentioned before.  The same thing happened

    when I wanted to change the font and ratio of a bunch of text in my

    library.  A repeat command that changes everything the same way as the last

    operation would be nice.  (That's how Ctrl-Y works in Windows.)  But I

    could understand that could be a difficult thing to do.
