You can specify the exact *absolute* co-ordinates by selecting the footprint and selecting Edit from the context menu. However, you can't (AFAIK) enter relative co-ordinates or polar co-ordinates (of any kind), both of which would be nice to have.
Graphical lines are awkward in that there is no way at all of typing in precise co-ordinates (short of editing the board file in a text editor). Regards, Robert. korpx wrote: > Hmmm..
