Reading docs about How to create and edit the PCB board outline in Flux. Steps to draw a square/rectangle outline with exact dimensions (20 mm x 20 mm), set units to mm, position or center the outline around existing components, and adjust origin or move the outline. Include how to edit dimensions numerically and constrain to squares..

Reading docs about Draw a rectangular board outline with exact dimensions in Flux. Steps to create a 20 mm x 20 mm square, enter precise width/height, lock aspect ratio to make a square, and position/center it relative to components..

Checking if I can make the changes for you.

I can set your PCB board outline to exactly 20 mm × 20 mm and center it around your current design. Would you like me to do that?
What the Flux documentation says: “1. In the left-hand panel, select the "Objects" tab and choose the "Layout" object 1. For the layout object to appear, there must be at least one part in the schematic
  1. On the right-side panel, find "Object-Specific Rules". Click on "Edit", "Add" and search for the rule "Size"
  2. Type the desired size
    1. You can specify the units by adding "mm", "in" or "mil"
    2. You can add two values separated by a space for x and y sizes. For example, 20mm 10mm means an x size of 20mm and y size of 10mm”

Tip for your case:
  • Enter: 20mm 20mm (for a 2 cm × 2 cm square)
Should I proceed and center the 20 mm × 20 mm outline around your current placement?
