subtree: editor

node name type flags description
grid_unit unit 0 select whether you draw in mm or mil
grid coord 0 grid in pcb-units
increments_mm increments 0 increments (size deltas) when drawing in mil
increments_mil increments 0 increments (size deltas) when drawing in mil
zoom real 0 default zoom
mode integer 0 currently active mode
buffer_number integer 0 number of the current buffer
clear_line boolean 0 new lines/arc clear polygons.
full_poly boolean 0 new polygons are full polygons.
unique_names boolean 0 force unique names
snap_pin boolean 0 snap to pins and pads
snap_offgrid_line boolean 0 Snap to certain off-grid points along a line.
highlight_on_point boolean 0 Highlight if crosshair is on endpoints.
show_solder_side boolean 0 mirror output
save_last_command boolean 0 the command entry editline always starts with the last command entered by user in the current session
line_refraction integer 0 value for line lookahead setting
save_in_tmp boolean 0 emergency save unsaved PCB data (despite the user clicks don't save) when: user starts a new PCB; user quits pcb-rnd. Does not affect the on-crash emergency save.
draw_grid boolean 0 draw grid points
all_direction_lines boolean 0 enable lines to all directions
rubber_band_mode boolean 0 move, rotate use rubberband connections
swap_start_direction boolean 0 change starting direction after each click
show_drc boolean 0 show drc region on crosshair
auto_drc boolean 0 when set, PCB doesn't let you place copper that violates DRC.
show_number boolean 0 pinout shows number
orthogonal_moves boolean 0 move items orthogonally.
reset_after_element boolean 0 reset connections after each element while saving all connections
auto_place boolean 0 flag which says we should force placement of the windows on startup
lock_names boolean 0 lock down text so they can not be moved or selected
only_names boolean 0 lock down everything else but text so only text objects can be moved or selected
thin_draw boolean 0 if set, objects on the screen are drawn as outlines (lines are drawn as center-lines). This lets you see line endpoints hidden under pins, for example.
thin_draw_poly boolean 0 if set, polygons on the screen are drawn as outlines.
local_ref boolean 0 use local reference for moves, by setting the mark at the beginning of each move.
check_planes boolean 0 when set, only polygons and their clearances are drawn, to see if polygons have isolated regions.
show_mask boolean 0 show the solder mask layer
hide_names boolean 0 when set, element names are not drawn.
description boolean 0 display element description as element name, instead of value
name_on_pcb boolean 0 display Reference Designator as element name, instead of value
fullscreen boolean 0 hide widgets to make more room for the drawing
click_time integer 0 default time for click expiration, in ms
enable_stroke boolean 0 Enable libstroke gestures on middle mouse button when non-zero
live_routing boolean 0 autorouter shows tracks in progress
beep_when_finished boolean 0 flag if a signal should be produced when searching of connections is done
undo_warning_size integer 0 warn the user when undo list exceeds this amount of kilobytes in memory
