You select a center, a starting point and then an angle: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/699435 The initial coding was done by Ineiev back in 2007. In September 2012 Bert Timmermann adapted it to the new coordinate handling. In November accommodated it again to work with further changes to the core. The patch was kind of soft-rejected by him though. He mentioned to look into it after he got a backlog of GL stuff sorted. This was in November 2012. I for one like the way the patch works. So I tend to apply it to my local compile of pcb. It helped me a lot with outlines and footprint silk, too. ---<)kaimartin(>---
