Try this patch, which is against the latest cvs pcb. It has a global list of apertures, but they're shared for all layers. The layers just keep track of which ones they use. Thus, the 256 aperture limit is a "global unique" limit. Index: gerber.c ===

I'm not sure if this is really fair to call a bug in CircuitCAM. It's a little ambiguous as to whether multiple layers of the same design should have a common aperture definitions. pcb's gerber driver that I wrote (before the HID was introduced) used a common table for all gerber files within the

Hi After spending a couple of hours with our PCB manufacturing staff I found a solution to my problem. I'll try to explain, but please keep in mind that my knowledge of the gerber format is limited to what I learned today... This time I used the latest CVS version of PCB to export my layout
