Hi all, What I have found is that due to the many pad / track sizes on my PCB the gerber file is invalid.
If I view the gerber file then lots of the tracks which appear in the editor as 0.018" are output as 0.060" If I look at the DCODE list in the gerber viewer then I see the last tool number 91 has a DCODE D99 Can anyone confirm that this is indeed a bug in kicad? I will send the .BRD file to anyone who would like to investigate.
