Reshape
Use the Reshape command in 2D View
mode
to edit lines, area fills and segments in an area or sections by specifying
an appropriate path. Toggle on this command by clicking on the eCADSTAR PCB Editor
ribbon, and then clicking an object on the canvas. Alternatively, select an object on the canvas and then toggle this command. The command remains toggled on. This allows you to reshape other objects by clicking them on the canvas.
- To accept your changes, click Finish on the assist menu or click the end
point of the relevant section. Alternatively, press the Spacebar.
- Toggle off this command by clicking it on the ribbon, pressing Esc
on the keyboard or clicking on the assist menu.

Angle lock
| Value |
Description |
| 45-degree
|
The angle between the sides of the object to be input is limited
to 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270 and 315 degrees. |
| 90-degree
|
The angle between the sides of the figure to be input is limited
to 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. |
| Free
|
The angle between the sides of the object to be input is not
locked. |
Tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| ON
|
A tangent arc with the radius specified in Radius
of tangent arc is generated at the corner of an object. |
| OFF
|
The vertex is placed at the corner of an object. |
Radius of tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| Real number greater than 0. |
Set the radius of tangent arc to be generated. |
Thermal relief
| Value |
|
Description |
| ON
|
|
In the same net as the area fill to be generated, the subtract
process is executed on pins, vias, and padstacks in components
to generate thermal lines. |
| OFF
|
|
The subtract process is not executed on pins, vias, and padstacks
in components in the same net as the area fill to be generated. |
| |
Settings
|
Displays the Design
Settings dialog. This
allows you to set the thermal relief values which are shared between
multiple commands. |
Subtract parameter
| Value |
Description |
| Settings
|
Displays the Design
Settings dialog. This
allows you to set the Subtract parameter
values, which are shared between multiple commands. |
Line (Conductor)
Track width
| Value |
Description |
| Real number greater than 0. |
Set the track width of the line to be input. |
Tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| ON
|
A tangent arc with the radius specified in Radius
of tangent arc is generated at the corner of an object. |
| OFF
|
The vertex is placed at the corner of an object. |
Radius of tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| Real number greater than 0. |
Set the radius of tangent arc to be generated. |
Line width
| Value |
Description |
| Real number greater than 0. |

Tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| ON
|
A tangent arc with the radius specified in Radius
of tangent arc is generated at the corner of an object. |
| OFF
|
The vertex is placed at the corner of an object. |
Radius of tangent arc
| Value |
Description |
| Real number greater than 0. |
Set the radius of tangent arc to be generated. |
Note
- When editing the shape of an object, you
can insert an arc by selecting
on the assist menu.
- To set a flag mark partially along a section,
press the Shift key and click the
required position.
- If you specify a value for Angle
lock in the Reshape dialog,
then a circular mark is displayed when the cursor position satisfies
the specified angle, or multiples of it.
