How to get arc tracks

Layout

Is it possible in V7 to route arc track? If yes - how to get such track?

In principle yes.

  1. routing with corner-mode set to: “90 degree rounded”. This places an 90°-arc at every track-bending. To change the corner-mode:
  • hotkey “track corner mode”
  • or during routing: RMB-click–>context-menu–>cycle corner mode
  1. all copper graphics can be converted to tracks and than subsequently can be assigned a netname:
  • draw a arc/circle on the wanted layer
  • this graphic element has the old problem of creating a DRC-error with all other standard tracks
  • select the graphic–>RMB–>context menu–>Create from selection–>Create Tracks from selection
  • the original graphics remain selected, delete them
  • select the new created tracks–>doubleclick–>assign a netname in the track properties dialog

regarding footprint and copper on inner layers: still not possible
