Any clues where to start adding code ? I did look into some files yesterday like action.c , draw.c and create.c , but couldn't find a nice starting point for adding a command circle. For mouse-click stuff, you want ActionNotify() in action.c. That's where mouse clicks go. For non-mouse

Hello there! I've tried to implement this feature into pcb once myself but failed because of the large size of the source code and my lack of skills and time. What I tried to implement was this: - set a 90 degree arc just like you do right now, - change the angle by holding ctrl and

Does anyone know why there is no button or menu command to create a full circle in PCB? I know that the file format actually describes arcs as fractions of a circle, and that it can just as easily be a 360 degree fraction as the 90 degree limit imposed by the GUI. But when making
