Eric,
you obviously weren't paying attention over the past week, this
issue was discussed on the listserver. Quit sleeping in class! 8^>
"...how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?" Sorry,
listening to too much of "The Wall" while I work.
The short and simple answers are:
1) Use polygons, they will be drawn with X size tracks. (X - user defined)
2) Use fills that are smaller than the fab shops maximum aperture. For
larger areas, overlap them by some minimal amount.
If you use either one of these two methods the RS274X output should conform
to your fab shops maximum aperture limitation.
