  ROUND CORNER PCB DESIGN By Asad Ijaz Last Updated: 07 Dec 2020 There are many PCB Design software. Some examples include: Altium, OrCAD, Eagle, Diptrace and KiCAD. These tools generally work on same principle. In these tools Altium and OrCAD are commercial tools. These commercial tools will cost you several dollars. Eagle and Diptrace are free software but there are some restriction for multi-layer PCB. KiCAD is the most mature open source software (OSS) PCB tool available presently. This tutorial will be based on KiCAD and will teach the basics of PCB design.  In this tutorial we will learn how to: make a Rounded Edges PCB. This tutorial is short but you must have all of the basic skills of PCB design. Note:  I have not created any schematic or footprint purpose of the post is only to learn how to make rounded corners PCB.  Here are the few steps required as following: Step 1: Open the  KiCAD PCB DESIGN SOFTWARE  and create a  New Project  and after that from main menu select  tools
