Re: [PEDA] Gerber accuracy

Thanks Steve,

That solved the problem.  I checked the gerbers and, sure enough, the 
arcs were converted to straight lines that then violated the clearance 
settings.  Amazing.

Cheers,
Tom

Yep - use 'track', not 'arc' to generate the teardrops.  For some 
reason, the arcs get turned back into straight lines, and you get 
the clearance violations you've noticed... thousands of them.

Hope that helps, 

Steve
