Hi, I also had fun playing with this. I think if you use zero suppression this confuses "smart software" which tries automatic format recognition. If you use zero suppression you should always enable decimal point.
For my files I use 2-4 format, no suppression, no decimal, inches. This works well with gerbv and GC-Prevue 7.0. With GC-Prevue 7.0 I need to manually enter the drill sizes. I also found it is best to use the auxiliary axis for both copper layers and drill file, so they are both aligned in the positive quadrant at origin (0,0). --- In kicad-users@yahoogroups.com, "elliomartina" <elliomart...@...> wrote: > > I am using KiCad for a few weeks and have designed a few boards ready > for production. > Following the advise to check the Gerber files, I installed GC-Preview > on my Win box and Gerbv on my linux box.
