:-) When I made boards for your RAD instrument with complicated round shapes, I used gnumeric to compute the coordinates of all the arcs and vias, formatted the gnumeric page in PCB syntax, then cut'n'paste into the layout file. http://www.ieap.uni-kiel.de/et/people/stephan/msl/eda/RADF.gnumeric http://www.ieap.uni-kiel.de/et/people/stephan/msl/eda/RADF.pcb :-( Btw, that layout file does not open properly in recent versions of PCB. The ground planes do not show up, and I get Error while clipping PBO_SUB: 3 Error while clipping PBO_SUB: 3 I was using: This is PCB, an interactive printed circuit board editor version 20060822 Compiled on Sep 26 2007 at 16:12:23 :-) The flight model will be delivered to NASA later this year.
