Pcbnew: Improve arc editing
When drawing PCB contours containing arc it is quite difficult to position arcs properly (it requires performing a lot of math to do property)
Steps to reproduce
Draw a PCB contour similar to this:
Try to align this arc end to the end of the vertical line:
Recommendation
If the arc center could be specified instead of the angle in the property editor of the arc that would be helpful. I could also envision implementing a 'lock' feature for both endpoints, center and the angle. What do you think about this? Please add your feedback and I will try to spare some time to implement least the center editing feature.
