Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Simon Bichler (bartmonster) >Assigned to: Julian Lamb (thepurlieu) Summary: Mismatch of resolution between original and exported gerber Initial Comment: When exporting a gerber layer there is a fixed accuracy of 2.3 decimal places, which is potentially lower than the accuracy of the original gerber file. To reproduce this: 1. Open layer from examples/orcad/rs232_cm.asb 2. Export this layer to a new gerber file 3. Add the exported layer. 4. Zoom in on the "D1" label. You can easily spot a mismatch between the original file and the file exported by gerbv. The issue stems from using a fixed 1mil resolution in export-rs274x.c, without regard for the resolution of the original gerber file. gerbv should either use the same resolution as the original gerber file at export. Alternatively it should use a fixed, but higher resolution, than 1 mil. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Julian Lamb (thepurlieu) Date: 2011-03-05 12:47 Message: Simon, Good point. We don't track the loaded resolution inside gerbv, so I just changed the export format from 2.3 to 3.4 format to ensure it will cover 99.9% of all cases. Thanks for the report, Cheers-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=409538&aid=3197816&group_id=33921 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ Gerbv-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gerbv-devel
