Thanks for giving us another shot

The circular and rectangular options have a bunch of transformations available…you can make turn circles into oblong shapes simple by providing async size value and you can set a corner radius for rectangular pads and even your layout.

And as you probably saw you can load symbols as svg and you can also load custom pad, layout and silk shapes either as svg or dxf

Less known but also works for shapes that you are reading off datasheets is that you can also just type in a svg path into the shape field of each object type

How philosophy is to make the most common things really simple and straightforward and the edge cases possible. But yeah, someday we’ll also ship online shape editing features

In that case, the docs don't really do justice to it. They still read as if many features don't exist yet.
