Python Scripting 'Filled Zones'

[chendy]

Does anybody know if it is possible to script ‘fill zones’ with the python interface? Or will I have to hack at the raw file?? I want to create a circular filled zone.

Yes, it is possible to achieve similar effects by tracing a circle outlet, but this is tedious.

Creating round (arc) copper planes [SOLVED]

Hi, for my current project I need several copper planes in arc form. [image] I know KiCad is not offering the possibility to make circles or arcs with the copper layer. The workaround for me would be to manually make a copper zone and drag the edges until the desired shape is nearly reached. But this would be a very time consuming and not a very satisfying solution. Does anybody has a better approach for this?

If you can convert it into a working python script for the KiCAD command line interface you’d probably get some likes
