Drawing rectangular

[Fernando]

Good day Sir/Madam

I have encountered a problem that I can not achieve and require some assistance or explanation if possible. I am unable to create a rectangle as per instructions on:

Lesson#4, How to pettifyyour schematic with Kicad 7.0 _ #PCBCupid, starting at 5minutes and 10 seconds of the YouTube video.

When I select the rectangular icon and create a box (with blue lines) the inside of the box is slightlyfaded in pink colour and when I leavethe mouse the square disappearsand all text is bold.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Regards

Fernando

I tried to reproduce what you said, but I couldn't. Can you make sure if you selected the "rectangular tool" and not the "text area tool" ? They look quite similar.

If that didn't work, please updateKiCad to the latest version; it could be a bug, or just try restarting the Kicad application.

Thank you for the reply. I found the pronlem. When I start to draw rectangular I held the mouse button and drew the line which provides a background of pink.

Then I tried doing it only by clicking the button on the section and leave button then draw box and it works. My apologies and thank you very much zkicad is v7. 0.8
