Move the cursor ready to place the second vertex.Position the cursor and click to anchor the starting vertex for the board shape.Board shape definition is made by performing the following sequence of actions: Redefining the Board ShapeĪfter launching the Redefine Board Shape command, the cursor will change to a crosshair and you will enter the standard polygonal object placement mode. Auto-Position Sheet - use this command to automatically resize the displayed PCB Sheet to exactly enclose the objects on mechanical layers linked to that sheet (will require a refresh of the workspace).Ĭommands are only available while viewing the board in 2D.Create Primitives From Board Shape - use this command when the board shape exists but there are currently no objects along the boundary.Define From Selected Objects - select a set of line and/or arc primitives that define a closed shape then use this command to redefine the board shape to match this shape.Edit Board Shape - use this command to interactively modify the shape of the board by moving vertices or sliding the edges of the shape.Move Board Shape - use this command to move the location of the board shape within the workspace.Redefine Board Shape - use this command to interactively draw a new shape.Commands for managing the Board Shape are accessed by clicking the Home | Board | button on the main menus. There are three ways this shape can be altered. For specific project templates that can be used when creating a new PCB project, the associated PCB document in each case has a specific board shape according to the form factor of the board. For a blank PCB project, or additional PCB documents added to an existing project, the default board shape is a square shape.
