Consider a component footprint sm pad, x1,y1 to x2,y2, xx thick and make 
the component the actual pcb outline.  It would only work on top or 
bottom layer,  I usually define the pcb outline and mounting holes as a 
component but it does get messy with locking and unlocking components 
and not the outline.  Maybe someone can think about a circle, maybe a 
component pin without a hole and some tricky stuff?  Ian.

Hi, Is it possible to draw lines (tracks) in PCB with commands? 
Something like ... Drawline(x0,y0,x1,y1) I would also like to know if we 
can draw line by specifying the origin, radius and angle, like ... 
Drawline2(x0,y0,rad, phi)
