Some of that of course is now a subset of the 274-X specification which is now on Revision J. Since Revision J has just been released it will be some time before we see the new features exploited by CAM software, but even when that happens you don't have to make use of the newer features. >> I would suggest that we re-enable arc features in gerbers at some >> point, > > We only interpolate non-circular arcs, which gerber simply doesn't > > support. Nor is Gerber ever likely to support non-circular arcs. The question should be what types of arcs do you want to support and why? I think circular arcs only makes the most sense since it is so simple. If someone wants more interesting board edges or cutouts then it's better to draw those in 2D CAD and use some tool to import the shapes, possibly converting to straight segments. Even the elliptical arcs aren't currently adequately supported - how do you control the rotation, the arc angle, or the endpoints? What is the value of having elliptical arcs? - Cirilo
