Shape with Rounded Corners

Khurana
Khurana over 16 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to create a shape with rounded corners in a single step?  I know the 1) create shape then 2) Edit Boundary method that requires users to define arc begin/end points but this is for create a shape symbol (ssm) and can be quite tedious especially when you do this all day long (as a librarian).  Are there short-cuts to this?

Using Allegro PCB Editor XL v16.2 with hotfix..

Thanks

    Khurana,

    Go to Setup->User Preferences->Shapes->Voiding and change av_endcapstyle and dv_endcapstyle to round.

    NEVER MIND my bad I thought this work with shape creation as well. Sorry for any confusion.
