Hi Stuart,
amazing work!
However there still are some curios effects:
- On the gerber files of some recently manufactured board, on startup I can't
select anything on a polygon filed inner layer. Switching to another polygon
filed inner layer I can select things on this second inner layer, and
switching back to the first inner layer, I can now select structures there
too.
- zooming in to a high scale, there are chances that the image gets distored
by misplaced structures. Zooming out at some step reverts to the right
picture and zooming in again some error, but mostly not the same error, will
appear again. This happens for me since the beginnings of gerbv.
On request, I can send the 800 kbyte zip file of all layers and a step by
step explication how to reproduce.
Cheers
