Re: gEDA-user: easy way to change pad size/shape?

[PR <piotr-re@xxxxx>]

(A) There is "change square flag of selected objects" option in "select"
menu.

(Q) Does anyone find "autoplace selected elements" useful? It gives me
"surprising" results... Is there a guide how to set this one up?

Thanks,

Peter
