I'm considering improving the import of arc tracks when importing pcad
format. Currently they are imported as drawing arcs and forced onto the
correct copper layer; subsequent editing triggers "correct" behaviour
which forces the arc onto non copper layers.
The hacky way to do it would be to interpolate with linear track
segments, keeping the resultant shape within some error limit of the
true shape to prevent spacing violations.
Better (I think) would be to evolve TRACK to represent lines or arcs (by
adding a middle point to the segment and a heuristic to tell whether
it's a 3 point arc or a line).
Anyone have other approaches? Thoughts on the above approaches?
