Extracting Board Shape via Skill / get radius / angle of arc segments

Juuls

Hi,

I need to extract the board shape, so that I can rebuild it with lines, arcs etc.

What I do is:

dsn = axlDBGetDesign()

outline = dsn->designOutline

segments = outline->segments

If a segment has the objType "line", there is a start point and end point ... ok so far, but if the objType is "arc", there is also just a start point and end point, but I need the radius, the start angle and the end angle.

Maybe it can be calculated from the bBox, but I would be suprised, if that's preferred solution ... anyway, I wouldn't know how ... 

Can anyone help me, what is the correct way to get the needed information about the arc segments?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Best regards,

Julian
