--089e01160528fff2cd04d9f2f5ff Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Are you looking to make something that is circular? You can use the standard trace drawing tools (line and arc) on the 'outline' layer to make rounded PCBs. I have used this to round the corners of boards and should work just as well to make circular boards. If you need something with slightly more intricate curves, you might have luck using the puller tool: http://www.delorie.com/pcb/puller/ You could also try creating your board outline in inkscape and trying to convert it with pstoedit. There is a pcb option which will not fill the shapes (as opposed to pcbfill which does).
