The description of ElementArcs in footprint creation guide is misleading. In current pcb measurement of positive values for angles is counterclockwise as stated in pcb-documentation.
Wrong: http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/land_patterns_20050129.pdf StartAngle Starting angle of arc – measured in degrees clockwise from negative X axis (i.e. degrees clockwise from horizontal ray pointing to the left.) Delta Angle swept out by arc in degrees. Direction of sweep is clockwise (CW). Correct: http://pcb.sourceforge.net/pcb-cvs/pcb.html StartAngle The angle of one end of the arc, in degrees. In PCB, an angle of zero points left (negative X direction), and 90 degrees points down (positive Y direction). DeltaAngle The sweep of the arc. This may be negative. Positive angles sweep counterclockwise. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
