After looking at basic layouts, I thought it might be fun to create a switching power supply. The datasheet of the part shows a fairly specific layout. I cannot seem to figure out how to make custom shapes like these. If I ask Google, it tells me how to change the trace width, but not the actual shape.
One way of bodging it would be to make a custom footprint with at least the IC and the inductor, but that just seems a recipe for disaster. Even if I manage to work it out without half a dozen respins, I'm bound to have forgotten how to do it exactly when I try to reuse the design in the not so near future.
I might be missing something obvious though, since I'm not very experienced with KiCad.
