i forgot where this was left, sorry if i am beating a dead horse

what is the consensus on using 'software arcs' in 99SE gerber generation ?

and is AD any different ?

i have apparently had it ON for so many years without trouble that i am now gun shy about turning it off but at the same time am equally worried about possible data issues by not doing so

yes, i do have 'UNSORTED'(raster) ON

No problem there.
Apart from the (small) issue that software arcs create smaller clearances than you'd expect: it might up the cost of the board when they are close to a cost treshold. I usually use 6 mils, the fab house has 5.9 as a treshold so they detected a 'violation' on the arcs. I re-generated the gerbers and got away with it :)

Can't help you with DA, but from what i read on the list I do not expect to be big differences there.....
