At present it is not possible to directly draw an outline by entering xy co-ordintes.

What you can do is:

• Set the board units to your preferred measurements (inch, mil, mm);

• Set the active layer to Board Outline;

• Draw a line anywhere;

• Select the line;

• Edit the Start-X, Start-Y, End-X, End-Y points in the right hand properties panel;

• Repeat for the other lines in the outline

It is more tricky if you have rounded corners or other non-rectilinear features but the basic idea is the same.

There is now a new tool to set the board origin:

It is easy to use but a bit tricky to set an exact point when the board is off by some obsure fractions or decimals and I am going to ask for it to have the option to be set by text entry.

:)

As I was hoping for X / Y entries but I was not finding a easy way.

I have been able to us the measuring tape to help me and it works.

Thank you
