Hi, (sorry for my english)
it exists severel drawings software, that spread (or distribute) the parts (objects) evenly in a polygon for example.
I want do this also by kicad. For example i have 25 same components (LEDs) , and i have a board shape like a letter “A”. And , want this 25 LEDs placed evenly in this “A”.
Exist maybe python scripts for evenly soacing?
Regard
Hakan
I’m only a beginner myself.
If you are using V5, for the near term you might look at “position relative to” (using polar coordinates).
When you have items in the board you can select them and try context menu -> Align/Distribute or Create Array.
This should be relatively easy to do with a Python script. See this example.
for circular position , exist this script:

Some time ago I stumbled onto a python script to roughly place the components on the PCB in the same relative positons as they are on the schematic.
Neat idea, but never tried it. I’m not so into python scripting.
