Re: gEDA-dev: pcb gerber HID versus gerbv w.r.t. empty layers

[Bert Timmerman <bert_dot_timmerman-at-NOSPAMxs4all_dot_nl>]

Hi DJ,

OK, I will modify the "gerber HID export all layers" patch.

The original question in the first posting still stands.

<quote>
This one comes with a warning: gerbv doesn't load empty layers (not one
single aperture present) very well.

This can be solved in two different ways:

1) Teach gerbv how to handle empty files,

or

2) Teach the pcb gerber HID to add at least one (dummy) aperture to the
file.

Which choices should be made ?

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
