Place pin around circle

LSAUGE

Hello,

It's been some time that I look for a feature that would be useful for me and that I didn't saw in the tutorials.

Is it possible in PCB Editor 17.4 to place a pin arround a circle (the circle is only for the design and will not be in the pcb) at a particular angle (see picture below) ? I know that I can place a pin at particular coordinates but I'd rather not calculate the exacts coordinates arount the circle if there is an easier way..

Thanks a lot,

Loïc

  • I placed a circle where I wanted center to be then place another circle around the center. 

    Copy a via then snap to the outer circle by segment vertex.

    Then Edit>Copy, Options>Polar select the via you placed on the vertex then snap to the center circle.

    This will allow you to place multiple copies around the outer circle.

    There is probably a better way.
