Hi, first congratulations to the developers - they are doing a great job and made an impressive tool for the PCB CAD work. No to my problem/issue:
I made a board in KiCAD (version 2009-02-16). I can plot this board without no problems into the GERBER format. The output is correct if checked with e.g. GCPREVUE. After upgrading to KiCAD 2010-03-14 PCBNEW freezes as soon as I start the GERBER plotting. It creates a *.pho file in the directory which has a size of 0 bytes. Without rebooting the PC this 0 bytes file cannot be deleted as it appears locked by an application. However, using the HPGL plotting in the same KiCAD version works perfectly. Do you have any idea why PCBNEW is crashing? I would like to upgrade to the 2010 version as there are a lot of improvements especially in the user interface. I am using Windows XP, SP3, English version. Best regards, Mirko
