Hi Marxurs,

Use the polar grid, it's easier to place footprint in a circular orientation, this option is under Edit>>Properties>>Grid and Units, change the grip to "Polar gird".

thanks for help~, but i have a question need to ask again, how i can let them have the equal space difference? because the DRC keep give me error: " the leds are too close or overlapping each others" ..

Hi Marrxurs,

You can select the footprints you want to have equal spacing and then select the Edit>>Align>>Space Across or Down. This Align option is not in all Ultiboard versions and if you don't see it, double click on individual footprint and under the "position" tab, you can define the x-y coordinate where the component will go.

Hi Marxurs,

In Ultiboard, there is an option to place lines at all angle and this is useful when working on a polar coordinates.  Select Options>>Customize User Interface, under the "Commands" tab select "Place" from the "Categories" window, next highlight "Place All Angle Line (Place)" under the "Commands" area,  hold the left mouse down and drag this option and drop it somewhere on your toolbar to place a icon.  If you prefer, instead of placing an icon on your toolbar, you can create a shortcut key.  Select the "Keyboard" tab in the Customize dialog and then locate the Place All angle lines and assign the short cut key for this option.
