Use an Arc on Edge.Cuts layer.

Or even better design your board outline in any cad program and import the resulting dxf file. Search this forum about pcb_new dxf import to see how you can do it.

Or even better, use the new Stepup tool to manipulate the edge cut directly inside freecad sketcher :slight_smile:

I’m working on the WB option, so the release is delaying a bit :wink:

Then how about doing just that do see what happens? Then report back with what the difference is between what you expected and what you got.
