Create board shape with a polyline

  1. If a board shape exists, delete it. You can use a selection rectangle to surround the whole board and click Delete. The circuit components and airwires will not be deleted.
  2. On the PCB Design toolbar, click Outline Polyline Outline Polyline icon.
  3. In the Outline Polyline dialog, review and edit settings for the bend type, line width and other options.

    Suggestion: If working with precise board dimensions, consider drawing the polyline with no bend type.
  4. Draw the board outline, clicking at each corner and double-clicking when you close the polygon. The board is constrained to the closed polygon.
