Other gerber software I tried (gerbv and GCPrevue) don't have such problems and I also seem to be the first to notice this problem. So this must be specific to the CircuitCAM software (maybe just that version?) they use at the Faculty. > pcb's gerber driver that I wrote (before the HID was > introduced) used a common table for all gerber files > within the design.

I can try to do that, but it will take some larger changes to the gerber HID. The aperture list for example is currently built on-the-go by appending a string. This doesn't allow for a lot of modification. I tried to keep my current patch as small as possible to keep the number of new bugs to a minimum :) Best regards Tomaz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFqVGVsAlAlRhL9q8RAvAHAJ9hsYKIo6x5Kl3w0w5cRJWsBnslxwCg4o8t PrHNyjA6WySFKXXcRZn/7fo= =L63G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
