Custom pads can certainly help to import shapes on copper layers. However, the import could be not trivial. We certainly need a few Eagle boards samples that have items on copper layers in footprints, to see what kind of problem must be fixed. I am myself not a Eagle user (this is not surprising!) -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
