editing old design outline

Hi,

I would like to edit a design outline of an old design. I can open .dra file where the outline lays. But I can't edit it.
I need to add some fillets and move some of the lines. Please help me.

Regards

your old dra might have shape on BOARD GEOMETRY/OUTLINE , so when you edit that shape in dra and then try to place or update this symbol on board, you will get this message because the board might already have outline on BOARD GEOMETRY/DESIGN_OUTLINE subclass and it can't have multiple shapes.

Open your dra, Shape > edit Boundary > pick BOARDGEOMETRY/DESIGN_OUTLINE shape, start editing. Once finished right mouse click > done.

Save you dra,

make sure the saved dra and bsm is present in the location specified by padpath and psmpath. (setup >user preferences > paths > library)

On the board, if this symbol already exists, Place > Update symbol and you will see the symbol with the changes you have done.
