I think that this is one feature that Protel is really missing. The ability to preview (in a graphical sense) the produced gerber file. There are free downloadable gerber previewers available just by doing a google search. The one I've got on my machine here is PentaLogic ViewMate. Although I don't really use it as much as I should... I think that perhaps the print(ing) in Protel should be done using the Gerber interface as this way it will force a correct Gerber interpreter into the program, as well as correct Gerber creation. :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
