Routing copper

place_arc_track

Place a curved copper track through three points.

Usage

place_arc_track <x1_mm> <y1_mm> <xm_mm> <ym_mm> <x2_mm> <y2_mm> [layer] [width_mm] [netId]

Angle brackets mark required arguments and square brackets optional ones. Available in the pcb editor. You can issue this yourself, and the AI agent issues the identical command — there is no second, hidden interface.

Behaviour

The three points are start, a point ON the curve, and end — not a centre and angles. An arc track is copper: it joins nets, is checked by the DRC and obstructs the router exactly as a straight track does.

How the agent uses it

  • The agent works in a perceive / act / verify / recover loop: it describes the design, issues place_arc_track or another command, checks the result, and undoes the change if the check fails.
  • Commands report what they actually did. A refusal is a result, not a silent no-op — which is what lets the agent recover instead of building on a change that never happened.
  • Anything the agent can do here, you can do yourself, and the reverse.
