I have made several cutouts out of a circle to make a board outline but when converting to a board Easy PC joins sections and disregards the outline. It's treating the shape as sections and joining what I guess it see's as an open shape. I cant see the open shape and have tried "Join open shapes" but this does not work. This was not a problem in the V18.
Hi Andy. It seems to work for me in V19.0.1 I tried making a (top silk) circle outline, then adding a rectangular (intersecting circumference) cutout (in top silk). Then convert overall shape to "Board". Result is as I would expect. Provide more details and I'll try and help.
In general I think that compound curves are not supported in EasyPC,-not just DXF spline import. Has anybody discovered (and willing to share with us) a good way of generating an ellipse in PCB editor (without manually joining 4 separate arcs)?
Hi Iain, Yes, -but that's 4 joined up "arcs",-not really a compound curve. What I'd like is a method of generating a "proper" ellipse without having to import one from another (mechanical) CAD package.
Cutout shape convert to board
