Circular placement in PowerPCB

powerpcb placement

When I want to place 60 LEDs in 4 circles with 15 LEDs each PowerPCB isn´t capable of doing this correctly. Like not all LEDs are palced correctly on circle line...

So only way to place is only 1 circle at a time?

what i'll suggest is that first make the circal (sillkscreen top) and then place the 15 LED's...
save this placement and if u can use this as a reuse design then its ok..

other wise open the placement file, and add/change the component designation and location....do this four times...

other wise use VB script to add particular digit on LED location...

Ehhmm...this sounds more complicated than selecting 15 LEDs at a time and place them circular (o;

Try polar placement PL

you should be able to do it with eagle v4.1 or later.

Ehhmm...what has eagle to do with PowerPCB? (o;

I know it is possible in Eagle, CadStar 6 and PowerPCB...the topic is not about which PCB package can do circular placement (o;

power pcb can do it using polar co-or.
set angle required and simply go on placing the led this may the easy job
polor move is very good in powerpcb

I know that it is possible...please read the original question!!!

Question was if it is normal that placing several concentric circles at once has a bug....

Select 15 LEDs ---> RBM ---> Create array ---> Enter the inputs ---> OK-OK ---> Here you go..... Circular Placement in PowerPCB.

Hope this will answer your question.

OK, select one LED footprint and the type "Ctrl+I".

PLACE THE COMPONENTS USING RADIAL MOVE OPTION WITH REQUIRED SETUP
