Bug Description
currently pcbnew does not permit users to distribute and align parts in a geometric fashion according to user drawn shapes. allowing users to position parts in their specifically drawn shapes far more precise than the current create array tool.
the feature should have a dialog for the user to specify geometric shape by drawing a temporary shape around which the parts are to be aligned and distributed.

Take a look at the "Create array..." tool. You can access it from the context menu or by hiting Ctrl-T while cursor is over component.
