Henner, AFAIK, no one is working on any more changes to the polygon tool. I am planning on announcing the stable 5 feature freeze sometime over the Thanksgiving holiday so if it's not ready by then, it will have to wait for the next development version. Cheers, Wayne On 11/21/2017 12:42 AM,

Could not a quick fix for this be to attach the "magnetic" functionality that exists when routing to the endpoints of a Edge.Cuts line? On 11/21/2017 04:00 PM, Thomas Pointhuber wrote: Hi, as librarian I would also note that an improved Edge:Cuts behaviour should take in account footprints

Hi, as librarian I would also note that an improved Edge:Cuts behaviour should take in account footprints which define Edge Connectors or cutouts. At the moment, cutouts are incorrectly rendered in the 3d-viewer when showing a single footprint, because there is no difference to a board outline

Hi Henner, I know this is outside the KiCad branch, but if you want to manage complex board edges including arcs, ellipses or bsplines, you may consider useful KiCad StepUp... Recently I've added a feature to allow the user to design the pcb edge in FreeCAD and push it to KiCad_pcb board

Hi, So polygons are very neat as they employ the nice polygon drawing features we are used to from zone drawing [*1]. A missing feature here is to _not_ have them filled but simply an outline. Why ? This would be _very_ useful to draw Edge.Cuts. Currently, the only way is to draw single lines,
