If you need Postscript for PCB making, use a Gerber Viewer and make a Postscript output from it. You can't "trust" anything but the Gerber file. //Dan, M0DFI
[kicad-users] Postscript Output
Hello Everyone, I just finished my first sch-pcb project in Kicad. I tried to output the pcb in Postscript format. When I looked carefully at the Postscript file, I found that some of the pads are missing &/or some pads are only half drawn in bottom-copper layer while bottom-copper mask shows the complete pad-mask. I may add that gerber output of the same pcb is fine without any problems. It will be of great help if someone throws any light on this. regards, sam_des
