Thanks everyone ! Yes, my PCB do have oblong pads. But they are quite long way away from pads that are missing or half drawn. These missing pads are Circular. BTW, non-circular(oblong) holes are also shown incorrectly on PS output. And can't check that with gerber. I as glad to see the support for non-circular holes (can't find that in many commercial packages), but I want to check before committing my design to PCB manufacturer. Can we output the gerber with actual or small holes ? That's why I tried Postscript. regards, sam_des
