Hi peoples. I used LC a few years ago, and I'm returning to it in  probably vain hope that I can get lots of my old scrappy hand-drawn layouts - railways, panel fronts breadboards etc - in a bit more order.

I have two problems right now.

1) I think I should be able to select several lines and change properties on them in one go. If I select three lines and right click into the context menu, and then click properties - nothing.

2) When I seect lengthen, and select my line, I get the message : select entity to trim. But trim, which seems to work, is a different icon. After the message, wherever I click, zoomed in, I get the message that no entity was found. I know I can lengthen a line by pulling the blue end square.

I guess I have not got the whole user view right - in which order I should click an icon, an entity, a selection, etc.

Any advice appreciated.

Richard
