I thought it was a very well-known feature; it was reported in 2007 ([1]http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=1800872group_id =73743atid=538811); Yes, but that bug report came with a request explicitly asking that it not be fixed! References 1.

Yes, but that bug report came with a request explicitly asking that it not be fixed! Okay, yes it's amusing, but is there really a justifiable reason *not* to fix it? It's *not* expected behavior. It looks and feels and acts like a bug. I wasted quite a bit of time before thinking to

I'm having an issue exporting my board from PCB as a gerber. Please take a look at this screenshot: http://flickr.com/gp/oskay/L98vvn The pads look normal-- square to the page --in PCB, but are rotated strangely when I export as gerber. The footprint, as it appears in my PCB document is:

That's really wierd. The exports are correct, the GUI is wrong - your footprint really does have oddly rotated pads: Pad[-6703 -1 -6700 1 ... That's a dX of 3 and a dY of 2. If you enable thindraw (the | key) it shows the correctly rotated outlines. Debugging...

Looks like a fundamental design issue. We use the X layer to draw lines, which includes pads, but with the tiny offsets in the x,y points, we end up passing two points to the X layer that have the same coordinates, so it draws a zero-angle line. If you zoom in far enough, eventually rotates the
