Ritchie75

Hi all may be this question is very stupid but I can't find the procedure for make a round PCB or other shpae ! because I must to do a PCB for a 19" audio rear PCB with XLR connectors.

 

My prob is I did the layout with ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR (Rear panel and XLR/Jack...)  and I would want to make the PCB with exact dimensiosn...

 

Any ideas ?

    then this tutorial should help

     

    Adjust the size of the board outline according to the size of the PCB. The board outline will appear as a square. Left-click on any side of this outline and drag it to the right or left to adjust the size. Keep the shape as a square so that when attempts are made to convert it into a circle, it does not take an oval shape. The sides of the square should be equal to the diameter of the circle. Type "MITER 2" in the command bar on top of the layout, then hit "Enter." The mouse icon will convert into a + sign. Left-click a corner of the square. This will make the corner round. If the rounded corner looks too small, try again with "MITER 3" or any higher number. Similarly, decrease the number if the corner looks too large. Repeat this process to round all corners.
