I can't reproduce this with the latest release, but you're doing the right thing... > Aside from that, I also don't know how to get pcb to produce gerbers > from new layers that I add.

You need to make the new layers their own group - pcb produces one gerber per *group* not per *layer*. > What I'd *like*, is a fab notes layer to which I can add text, > including board dimensions, and an outline layer that contains > nothing but the board outline, in addition to top, bottom, silk top, > silk bottom, since my pcb production system requires both of these. Common request. Don't have one yet, sorry. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
