Hi
Who's anyone knows how build round or spiral track in copper with Kicad?

Or changing drawing design (arc circle) in copper track?
Thanks

A trick?

- set grid to very small.
- in General Options unselec the check box tracks 45 only and
segments 45 only.
- construct your spiral with small steeps.

So is there still no way to have true curved tracks? I'd say this is
the one thing that I sorely miss from Eagle. I'm working on boards
where I need to treat some tracks as transmission lines and circuit
performance would be degraded by reflections at sharp edges.

I use Ubuntu 7.10, and I have installed the "PCB Designer" program
from Synaptic.

It is very easy to make a PCB spiral coil and also coils for planar cores.

But it is a problem, if the core is not used with separate PCB's but
is intended used on the "main" board and not just small PCB's for the
ferrite core itself.

It would be very nice, if we had an interface where a formula for the
track geometry could be specified along with the track width, maybe as
a component in the module editor.

But even allowing arcs to be drawn on a copper layer would be a great
help.
