No problem - I only get to this late in the day anyway, I appreciate any response. > gerbv --export=rs274x --translate=0,0 --translate=3.45,0 > --output=panelized.gbx board1.gbx board2.gbx Thats very cool - I looking around a bit for docs on this. Since I have code that gets the basic dimension already, I might be able to come up with a something like gerb_merge's random placement this way. I have another question - what is happening with libgerbv, I understand that it has been broken out? > Also, you mentioned needing to translate between Excellon and RS274X, > and gerbv will do that now too even through the GUI. Yep - I saw that, very nice. > Also, missing G01 codes shouldn't bother gerbv at all, since it default > to linear interpolation during parsing.

I realize that gerbv can handle them and that they are technically legal, but I am wondering if gerbv's out put may be problematic for other software that is used to them being omitted. I most commonly see G01 on a single line like a single set or reset command. Just a thought, the specifications are not very clear about this.
