Hi Orson,

can you explain how it should work in default canvas?

OK, I can get some arc to show up, but this is at least very different from how to do it in eeschema (and I thought it should be the same in eeschema and default canvas?):
In eeschema I can create a half-circle with 3 clicks.
I did not find out how to do that in pcbnew - apart from creating some (random) arc with the mouse and then tweaking it via the edit menu the way it should be.
If that is how it should be, fine for me… :)


Regards,
Bernhard
