A script to generate KiCad board outlines
PCB fabricators require a board outline on the `Edge.Cuts` layer to specify the board size and shape. While drawing the board outline in the PCB editor is straightforward and uses the standard line and shape drawing tools, it is convenient to retain standardized board outlines and related parts, such as fasteners, as reusable footprints. During the board layout process, you can simply plop a board outline, along with perfectly-placed mounting holes into the editor and you can concentrate on the placing components and routing. Also, having a standard library of board outlines gives you a predictable set of size choices for enclosures and for ordering SMD stencils.
This is why I created KiCadBoardOutlineGenerator, a script to generate board outlines from dimensions you specify.
