The PCB editor implements six graphical elements: pins, rectangles, lines, circles, arcs, and text, using six tool buttons. Each of the tool buttons opens a dialog box where the user can enter the information about the graphical element.
PCB pins are always drawn as circles, with a possible hole drilled in the center. The PCB pin dialog box, shown below, asks for the position (center), the diameter, the drill size, and the pin number. Pins are automatically auto-incremented starting at the last pin entered. The position is in viewport coordinates, as are the diameters. The default color is copper and pins are always on the copper layers.
Rectangles can only be an outline. The PCB rectangle dialog box, shown below, asks for the position (upper left corner), size (width and height), and the line thickness. The position and size are in viewport coordinates. The color is white and rectangles are always on the silkscreen.
The PCB line dialog box, shown below, asks for the endpoints of the line (X1, Y1, X2, Y2), and the line thickness. The endpoints are in viewport coordinates. The color is white and lines are always on the silkscreen.
PCB circles can be filled or hollow. The PCB circle dialog box, shown below, asks for the position (center), the diameter, and the center size (hole diameter). The position and the diameters are in viewport coordinates. The color is white and circles are always on the silkscreen.
PCB arcs can be either pie slices or bare arcs. If the center diameter, the arc will be a pie slice (filled), otherwise, the arc will be a bare arc. The PCB arc dialog box, shown below, asks for the position (center), the diameter, and the center size (hole diameter). The position and the diameters are in viewport coordinates. The color is white and arcs are always on the silkscreen.
The PCB text dialog box, shown below, asks for the position (lower left), the size in points, the font, and the text. The position is in viewport coordinates. The color is black and text is always on the silkscreen.
