I didn't check the Gerber specs. My favorite fab (Basista) did not complain when I started to (miss) use this feature. They just rendered it like pcb and gerbv showed on the screen. >> If you want to completely dissect a polygon: >> >> * Divide the polygon with thin tracks.

It does the morphing action and removes the old polygon. But it fails to automatically draw the newly produced polygons. I had to resort to the save-and-revert trick to get the new polygons on the screen. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
