Hi all, I have successfully been using KICAD for about 2 years, initially using version 2006-04-24 on a Pentium 4 running Windows XP.
In PCBnew I place the board outline by selecting the "Edges PCB" layer, clicking on "Add graphic line or polygon" and drawing the board outline. When the PCB is complete, I run the PLOT (GERBER Format) program, and then, when I run the GERBVIEW program I can see the board outline in all of the layers. I like this, and my PCB manufacturer(PCBTrain) has never complained! However, this week I have installed the newer version of KICAD, 2007-11- 29-a, and although I do all of the same operations as above (I think !), when I run GERBVIEW, I now only see the board outline in the "Edges pcb" layer. I don't like this because I don't know how the PCB manufacturer knows where the board edges are. I don't send the "Edges pcb" file to him anyway. Please can some kind sole tell me what is happening, is this an intentional modification, or has a bug slipped in somewhere ? It is, of course, possible that I am doing somethig silly, all suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your time. Regards, Ian French
