Custom Shape
Amelia Tapper
I am a subscriber to Photoshop and Lightroom CC and have just noticed (I need to draw a circle) that there is no custom shape tool in the left hand side tool bar; I've always just assumed it was there before. I've checked around and it seems as if it should be there but mine just isn't.
I've just begun using custom bone shapes and am finding it very tedious to have to align their location/rotation/scale to the bone after they've been assigned. Is there a quicker more precise way of doing this?
After installing and activating the script in User Preferences select a custom shape as you do normally (Pose Mode -> Bone panel -> Display section). Then you have this new button called Orient Custom Shape beneath the custom shape options. It should bring the representation of your bone to where your custom shape mesh is. Which is what we want.
Put the 3D cursor (ShiftS) on the base of the bone, then add a new object (a cube). Turn on the axis view for both the bone (in pose mode) and the new cube (Obj mode). In object mode, align the cube to the bone on the three axes. In edit mode, move all vertices of the cube until it surrounds the bone. Assign the cube as the bone shape. In object mode scale the cube equal to the bone shape. Last in edit mode rescale the cube mesh as it was when created.
I am learning Grasshopper and have some difficulty in adding a specific shape that I have created on Rhino onto my perp frames in order to loft along a line. I had made a previous post about this but now I am looking to create a specific type of base shape drawn with custom curves. GH 21315624 153 KB

However, there is a huge variety of pad shapes needed for component footprints, and standard pads are not always enough. To create a different shape from those listed above, you must create a custom pad shape.
Custom pad shapes can be created by converting placed Region objects or a closed outline, or directly, by selecting the new Custom Shape entry from the Shape drop-down in the Pad mode of the Properties panel.
In some cases (e.g., if the pad shape should be defined according to a component datasheet or using imported data), it can be more convenient to define a custom shape by creating a closed outline. To create a custom shape pad by converting an outline:
A custom shape pad can have a calculated Solder and/or Paste Mask, which can either be a user-specified amount or controlled by the rule system. This is achieved by enabling the appropriate Mask Expansion settings in the pad's Properties panel. When the mask opening requirements are not simply an expansion or contraction of the copper shape, it will not be possible to use a calculated mask. In this case, place suitable design objects on the required Mask layer. Keep in mind that the Solder Mask is defined in the negative, that is, the placed objects define openings in the Solder Mask layer.
Select region object(s) or an outline placed and the existing custom shape pad in the design space and select the Add Selected Region to Custom Pad or Create Custom Pad from Selected Outline command. You will be prompted to select a required action: replacing the existing custom pad shape or merging the new shape with the existing one.
Alternatively, use the outline vertices grid in the pad properties or the Edit Shape button to edit the pad shape interactively similar to when defining a custom shape for a pad just converted from a standard shape pad (see above).
The Modify Custom Pad shape command from a custom shape pad's right-click Pad Actions menu is also available. Once the command is launched, the cursor becomes a crosshair. Each time you click, a new vertex is added to the existing pad shape. You can extend the original border outside of the existing shape and/or come back inside the original border to essentially 'remove' an existing area. Use Shift+Spacebar to change placement modes and the Spacebar to switch end cornering modes.
You can also explode a custom shape pad to a region and a standard shape pad by selecting it and choosing the Pad Actions Explode Custom Pad to Free Primitives command from the pad's right-click menu or the Tools Convert Explode Custom Pad to Free Primitives command from the main menus.
When a custom shape pad is placed in a PCB document, thermal relief conductors connecting the pad with a surrounding polygon are placed so that they intersect the pad origin. The number of conductors (2 or 4) and their rotation angle (45 or 90 degrees), as well as the width of conductors and the air gap between the pad and polygon, are defined by the applicable Polygon Connect Style design rule.
This behavior can be overridden by enabling the Thermal Relief option in pad properties and clicking the button. When the Conductors by Pad Edges option is disabled in the Edit Polygon Connect Style dialog that opens, the thermal reliefs for this pad are placed as described above. When the option is enabled, the thermal relief conductors are placed from the center of each side of the custom pad shape region. You can also choose the minimal distance between the conductors by enabling the Min Distance checkbox and entering an appropriate value.
You can also use the PadShape_AllLayers, PadShape_TopLayer, PadShape_BottomLayer, and PadShape_MidLayer keywords with the 'Custom Shape' string to get pads of custom shape on a specific layer. For example, the PadShape_TopLayer = 'Custom Shape' query returns pad objects with a custom shape on the top layer.
sceneFunc should be used to define visual appearance of a shape. Konva will use sceneFunc for drawing its hit graph for events detecting. So in many cases you just need to define sceneFunc only. If you want to overwrite hit testing, take a look into Custom Hit Region demo.
This article is about shapes: what they are, how they work, and how to create your own shapes. If you'd prefer to see an example, see the tldraw repository's examples app for examples of how to create custom shapes in tldraw.
The default shapes are all of the shapes that are included by default in the Tldraw component, such as the TLArrowShape or TLDrawShape. They are exported from the @tldraw/tldraw library as defaultShapeUtils.
Every shape also contains some shape-specific information, called props. Each type of shape can have different props. For example, the props of a text shape are much different than the props of an arrow shape.
Meta information is information that is not used by tldraw but is instead used by your application. For example, you might want to store the name of the user who created a shape, or the date that the shape was created. You can find more information about meta information below.
While tldraw's shapes themselves are simple JSON objects, we use ShapeUtil classes to answer questions about shapes. For example, when the editor needs to render a text shape, it will find the TextShapeUtil and call its ShapeUtil.component method, passing in the text shape object as an argument.
With the TLBaseShape helper, we define the shape's type property (card) and the shape's props property ( w: number, h: number ). The type can be any string but the props must be a regular JSON-serializable JavaScript object.
This is a minimal ShapeUtil. We've given it a static property type that matches the type of our shape, we've provided implementations for the abstract methods ShapeUtil.getDefaultProps, ShapeUtil.getBounds, ShapeUtil.component, and ShapeUtil.indicator.
Shapes also have a meta property (see TLBaseShape.meta) that you can fill with your own data. This should feel like a bit of a hack, however it's intended to be an escape hatch for applications where you want to use tldraw's existing shapes but also want to attach a bit of extra data to the shape.
Whenever new shapes are created using the Editor.createShapes method, the shape's meta property will be set using the Editor.getInitialMetaForShape method. By default this method returns an empty object.
