Simply draw a ‘graphical circle’ on the Edge.Cuts layer:

Then you will have a circular board outline (see 3D view below)

I see color settings for nets.
Is it V5?

Yes I’m using nightly build but the process for drawing a circular board outline (Edge.Cuts) is the same.

I am looking around in KiCad. I didn’t decided to use nightly build as I’m not sure if later I will be able to go with my work to stable V5, and don’t wont to be forced to always use nightly builds.
I just was not sure if it is V5 or it is the possibility I didn’t found yet in 4.0.7.

easiest way is to draw required shape in some cad tool, save as dxf and import dxf on edge cuts layer…
freecad, inkscape can export dxf…
