That makes sense.
I do agree that having a conversion to dxf in gerbv is a good idea. I
think it would attract a lot of people to gEDA who are using Eagle and
other programs. Then they would see how great the rest of the gEDA suite is.
Since the gerber file format is shared by both pcb and gerbv, that would
be the place to start from, so that both programs could share a DXF
export function. In pcb, if you chose the 'Export dxf' button, it could
do an internal conversion of the artwork to .gbr and then call the
backend program to do the conversion to .dxf and then save the result.
Gerbv would just call the backend program and do the conversion.
Thanks,
Dave
