Electronic – Junction between curved and straight edge in KiCAD

kicadpcb-design

I have a round PCB with a tab that extends outwards for a connector. I am unable to get the outside lines to properly resolve and connect together at the ends.

Here is an image of the complete board and a zoom on the problem area.

How can I properly draw the outline so that the company will accept the file?

Best Answer

That is pretty much nontrivial, because snapping to graphics primitives does not work. I'm going to file a bug about this.

For the time being, I think your best bet is drawing the outline in inkscape or some other vector tool, export it as DXF, and import in KiCad into the Edge.Cuts layer.
