Dear all, I've just pushed a set of patches that simplifies drawing and editing custom pad shapes:
- Now you can draw a number of graphic primitives in the footprint editor, select them together and R-click->Create Pad From Selected Shapes) to convert them to a custom-shaped pad. - ... and the opposite: take a custom shaped pad, R-click->Explode Selected Pad to Graphical Shapes to convert the pad back to the original graphical primitives. - By default, the newly made pad's anchor is calculated automatically. If you need a special 'anchor' pad, draw it using the pad tool and select together with the graphical primitives that make the desired custom pad. - I forgot to mention, it's now possible to draw graphical polygons (not zones) both in pcbnew and in the footprint editor. Use with care, as polygons on copper layers are *NOT* handled by the DRC (yet). Testing & feedback very much appreciated!
