I have my pcb layout software outputting a the outlines of my pcb traces in a gerber format. Lazy Cam reads the file in properly, but when trying to make logical sense of the file, it leaves it a mess. Attached is my gerber file. As you'll see, after running the optimizer on it skips all over the place during changes which I htink are obviously right next to each other.
I've tried going in and manually 'Join Primitives', but I can never get that option to become active.
Any thoughts on getting this file to run properly? All the pecking is making the board a mess.
I had to change the extention to tap instead of gbx to upload it. Lazy Cam appears to rely on extension when parsing files.
PS Art, I read all about why we can't have a layers control button, but it would be MUCH easier to have a single place to edit the depths, feeds, etc of your layers, expecially when you are experimenting with feed rates, and have to change it in all your layers. Its cumbersome. Another note, why don't the property tabs behave like normal Window text boxes? Perhaps I don't understand the mentality.
Thanks,
