board outline_line with different angle

MAAC
MAAC over 15 years ago

 How can i set the angle (except 45,90) for Board Geometry Outline_line in Allegro PCB Editor. Apart from 45 & 90, i am unable to set any odd angle to draw the line for the outline.

    You can't set it to a specific angle, but you can set it to "off" which allows for any angle.

    As a guide, you can set the pcb_cursor_angle in the user preferences

     Maac,

    If you have access to AutoCad or Solidworks, you can generate your board outline in a .dxf and then import. IMO, the easiest and most efficient method. Maybe you can snag an ME to do it for you :)

    Cheers,

    Ditto Ron. So much easier to import odd angle, complicated outlines. And it's easy.
