I don't see length matching splines to be any easier than length matching polylines. If anything having arcs is a lot more important than beziers as arcs can form circles while beziers can't exactly (you need NURBS for that). Also iirc Gerbers support arcs natively so it would end up generating

i have no idea whether it is actually valid but could/would bezier curves be used in differential pairs that are also length matched? so that it would keep the seperation for the differential but would also allow the lengths to be equal? On Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 10:51 PM, jp charras
