I have had a bit of experience in using arcs with polygon boundaries. It is possible to set an arc to be convex or concave in nature, but care is required in positioning the cursor at the time. And arcs are always 90 degrees in arc length, so to "turn around" 180 degrees needs two arcs (one immediately after the other). As far as I can tell, it is not at all easy to edit the properties of arc segments, such as radius or location (whereas the locations of vertices at the ends of straight edges can be relatively easily repositioned, deleted, or added). It has also been my experience that arcs sometimes "turn inside out" when the associated polygon is moved and/or mirrored, in that a 90 degree concave arc (for instance) turns into a 270 degree convex arc. ISTR that this can happen with both Protel 98 and Protel 99 SE. In some cases, the only cure is to replace the polygon. I am hoping to see big improvements re polygons in Phoenix. Time will tell whether this actually happens or not... Regards, Geoff Harland. - E-Mail Disclaimer The Information in this e-mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.

WELL Bugger me with a broomstick !!
I was wrong Nicholas, you can do arcs.

While drawing the polygonvertice, press the shift key and hit the space
key.
This toggles through different routingangles.

Emne: [PEDA] Polygon at non 45degree angles
I'm trying to place a polygon pour and I need it to follow some angles that
are at 30 degrees as well as around some arcs. Can anyone please tell me
how
to do this?
