consider adding the arcs to edge.cuts in the footprint?

Open sequoia-hope opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, Thanks for this great resource! I am using pykicad to programatically generate a PCB that takes advantage of these footprints. Rather than write all the code to generate the arcs for these footprints in edge.cuts, I just modified the footprint I was using to put the arc there on the same place as the silkscreen arc already in the footprint. That way I can rotate my placement etc and the arcs move with the footprint. Is there a particular rationale for not doing that by default? I wanted to suggest doing so. Thanks!

Hi,

glad it is still helpful.

Honestly, I can't remember why I hadn't put the arcs onto the edge.cuts layer as well. Maybe I must have a stern word with my past me :-)

Enjoy and make beautiful circuits boards!
