Hi Jorge, did you get an email from me with a sample design which shows

MCAD can't render board outlines with arc's in them properly?

Hi Glenn,

I have it, I'm still catching up on my backlog I was out of the office

for almost 2 weeks. I'm almost caught up though so you should have a

response before the end of the day.

Thanks - hope your time off was relaxing

Hi Jorge,

I received your reply by email.

So I have board outlines in one library and different bus types in a

second library to logically separate them.

Then depending on the board being designed I mix and match them.

They are defined in different packages as that provides the most

flexible use of these objects and greatly simplify's  things for me.

Would some kind of ulp help to merge the two together after being added

to the drawing?

Hi Glenn,

Unfortunately, we don't have anything for it at this time. Its a pretty

niche situation so I don't for see us writing anything for it.

One thing you could try to make it easier on yourself, is to change the

layer of the outlines in the library to something other then dimension.

When you bring the parts into your design use the

copy-wire-to-any-layer.ulp to copy the outlines from your library layer

to layer 20 Dimension. This will put the outlines together on your board

as a single outline and should make ecad.io happy.

Try that and let me know how it goes.
