Hi Craig,
Is this not something that bitmap2component can achieve for you? You
can create a footprint from a bitmap and place it down. Generally used
for logos, but you should be able to scale accurately from a bitmap
fairly easily I would have thought?
I did look at the bitmap2component tool but it is not suitable for use as a
guiding template when laying out a PCB.
It has a fixed resolution of 150 DPI, which is at the very low end of
what is needed.
For use as a template, 300DPI is far better.
It is only two colours, which is not suitable when doing board tracing.
It creates a new board element which is not required.
Craig
