this feature allows for much more complex board shapes than is possible with the Pcbnew drawing capabilities. For example a mechanical CAD package can be used to define a board shape that fits a particular dialog box: 13.10. Automatic placement of a footprint If the user wishes to exploit the full capabilities of the auto-placement functions, it is necessary to define the allowed orientations of the footprint
