<pcbnotepath />

Overview

The <pcbnotepath /> element draws complex paths made up of multiple connected line segments on the PCB. It's useful for creating custom shapes, arrows, measurement indicators, or any annotation that requires multiple connected points.

Unlike <pcbnoteline /> which draws a single straight line, <pcbnotepath /> allows you to define a series of points that are connected in sequence.

export default () => (
  <board width="20mm" height="20mm">
    <pcbnotepath
      strokeWidth={0.3}
      color="#ff0000"
      route={[
        { x: -5, y: 0 },
        { x: 0, y: 5 },
        { x: 5, y: 0 },

Basic Examples

Simple Zigzag Path

export default () => (
  <board width="30mm" height="20mm">
    <pcbnotepath
      strokeWidth={0.4}
      color="#0000ff"
      route={[
        { x: -10, y: -5 },
        { x: -5, y: 5 },
        { x: 0, y: -5 },
        { x: 5, y: 5 },
        { x: 10, y: -5 },
      ]}
    />
  </board>
)

Arrow Shape

export default () => (
  <board width="30mm" height="20mm">
    <pcbnotepath
      strokeWidth={0.4}
      color="#ff6600"
      route={[
        { x: -8, y: 0 },
        { x: 4, y: 0 },
        { x: 4, y: 3 },
        { x: 8, y: 0 },
        { x: 4, y: -3 },
        { x: 4, y: 0 },
      ]}
    />
  </board>
)

Star Pattern

export default () => (
  <board width="30mm" height="30mm">
    <pcbnotepath
      strokeWidth={0.3}
      color="#ffcc00"
      route={[
        { x: 0, y: 8 },
        { x: 2, y: 2 },
        { x: 8, y: 2 },
        { x: 3, y: -2 },
        { x: 5, y: -8 },
        { x: 0, y: -4 },
        { x: -5, y: -8 },
        { x: -3, y: -2 },
        { x: -8, y: 2 },
        { x: -2, y: 2 },
        { x: 0, y: 8 },
      ]}
    />
  </board>
)
