Hi Jean-Pierre,

I cannot find a reference to it in my old (cica. 2008) PCB .pro files,
but I always thought the bus was much thicker. It may be that the line
thickness was also thicker back then, or the multiplier was different?

As it stands, when I print a schematic I cannot tell the difference
between a bus connection and a wire easily. So if it's okay with
everyone, I'll convert it to a preference rather than a compile-time
option?

The next question would be, is it an Eeschema option or a project option?

Best Regards, Brian.
