Hello Alan and group,
It appears that I didn't copy the current version of my software
ToolPathPro V1.0 from my computer on the last project I was on(good
thing I made a hard copy!). So, it may be a few days before I can get
a pic up of the converted DXF along with the originating Gerber. I
will do it though. I'm setting up my Linux box right now so I can
compile the code. Hmm, something to do soon, port to VisualC++. Add
it to the list of things to do. I'll get there, though.
I haven't had a chance to check out the files you posted yet, but I
will.
