The menu entry is in the module editor. I used it myself a couple of
weeks ago to draw sets of curved "tracks" on the copper layer (by
default graphics go on the Silk layer).
As for kicad being useful or not, I've created a number of boards with it and I'm impressed. I find that whilst it has rough edges, it does the fundamental job of creating working PCBs very well indeed.
Regards,
Robert.

Is that in the Module editor or the PCB editor (pcbnew)? As I
mentioned in the second part of the question, I was working on
artwork imported into a module with bitmap2component.
I suppose the module file is also ascii, so I could probably edit
that one by hand as well.....
In any case, the PCBs are being fabricated and I'll have them next
week. I'll see how useful KiCAD truly is when I get them.

Select the graphic with a right click, select edit, change the
layer in the drop down.
The only problem is that you may have to select each line
individually.
This is one time where diving into the brd file with a text
editor might be easier.

Anyone want to take a stab at answering this one?

I have 2 related questions.
First, is it possible to copy or move artwork to a different
layer in Module editor? Specifically, I have artwork on
SoldP_Back and I want it on SilkS_Front.
The background is that the artwork was imported into the
module using bitmap2component, which brings up the related
question: Is it possible to control which layer the artwork
is placed on when using bitmap2component?
Thanks, Daniel
