Thanks Dave.

I tried combining a rectangle and a stroke to draw part of the
perimeter. It works but it could be better. PCB also can not handle
arbitrarily rotated rectangles apparently.

Now I just have the trouble of simulating a copper arc some how for
the microphones.

OT: If you like the that part LTC3455 is also looks cool but it is
more irritating to actually use. For powering things that need analog
rails I want to play with the LT3471 but no one has it in stock. I
will throw the symbols and footprints in a link on this thread after I
get them working.
