FidoCadJ's recently acquired ability to export gEDA PCB / pcb-rnd (.pcb) layouts allows these complex features to be converted to Line[] primitives in layouts for use in gEDA PCB / pcb-rnd. Further export to KiCad layouts via pcb-rnd's support for KiCad legacy and s-expression file formats is also possible. Enjoy responsibly.... http://vk5hse.blogspot.com.au/2017/03/exotic-and-complex-footprint-creation.html Regards, Erich.
