hello:

 

on a rectangular shape, is there a way to trim one corner instead of trimming all 4 corners?

 

regards

    Have a look at the Shape Edit Application Mode. Once enabled there are options to set the Trim, you can then hover over the corner of the shape, the icon will change and you can then left click to convert the corner.

    hello steve:

     

    thank u for ur reply.

     

    unfortunately, i have no menu for "convert the corner" but only "trim corners"

     

    and if i click the trim corners, all 4 corners get trimmed.

     

     

    do u know the command for converting one corner?

     

    regards

    As I said for a single corner simply hover over it, the icon changes then left click it, you only need to right click if you want to do more than one.

    Sorry not an icon but the mouse pointer, it changes to a smaller cross. If you go to YouTube and look for parsyseda channel then search for Cadence PCB Shape Edit Application Mode the video covers all options, trim corners is 2.46.

    i watched the youtube video.

      

    unfortunately my mouse pointer does not change its size like the one on the youtube video.

     

    it may be because i am using apd.
