AFAIK, plot mode in DXF format was selectable some time ago, but did not have any effect (DXF format only creates outlines, regardless this option). Am I wrong ? Well, from my point of view, line/stroke/fill option is now (and since a long time) a useless option which should be removed. It was useful a *very* long time ago for guys who used a HPGL plotter to print/plot a board. > > Let's review the options: > - Gerber: > Seems fine to me, can't mirror/negative, can use the aux axis, can't > do drill marks, scale is fixed 1:1, plot mode always filled, default > line adjustable (question: is the default line still in use?
