Curve traces, odd angles - Matched Length suggestions?

CadAce2K

Hi,

I have a couple issues with curved RF traces. First off, when inputting and stretching the lines, they become many, tiny line segments (that make via arraying the lines almost non-existent!). Is there a function to make these multi-segmented lines, one concentic curved trace???

But, the bigger concern is once I get the curved lines in (add connect), and they look fine. When I start trying to move the vertex's around it becomes a hassle.

Anyone have any suggestions to add these easily and to stretch them around to match the lengths?

FYI - these are set up on more of a Polar input than a 0, 45, 30, 90, etc orientation. They are more like polygon entry.

Thanks.

    There is a skill program that will convert cline to shape (I got this from the skill forum so credit to Dave Elder) which may make it easier to place the vias etc. You may have to length match it first though. 5751.cl2s.zip

    Thanks Steve. But I want to keep the clines clines. Little bit painful stretching off-angle arc'd traces. I'll manage.
