Michael,
well this news won't help you out but I never use 'Use Software
Arcs' and certainly don't see your problem. Sorry but figured I could
probably tell you that you seem to be barking up the wrong tree unless it is
something specific to your database. I am relatively sure that many others
also don't use 'Use Software Arcs' judging by other discussions here in the
recent past. SO I am sure that you are chasing some other fault, just seems
to be the fault of the 'Use Software Arcs' feature right now.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander.

> Subject: [PEDA] Gerber generation bug?
>
>
> Greetings,
>
> I recently found a problem while generating Gerber files from
> Protel. When the Gerbers are generated without the 'Use
> Software Arcs' box
> checked, parts of polygon copper pours become complete arcs where they
> outline some pads. This is not a problem on the board
> design. These arcs
> short to adjacent polygons and tracks. It seems to work OK
> when the box is
> checked. I verified the Gerber files using Lavenier
> ViewMaster and LPKF
> BoardMaster and they look the same. I have not checked the
> ASCII output of

> included arc are
> not generated properly. Has anyone else seen this problem?
