Homebrew PCBs

Terry,

I also have Canvas.  For people not familiar with the program it is like a
combination of AutoCAD and Photoshop.

 

Version 11 for the PC, and I assume Mac, has independent high resolution
scaling.  I just scaled a sample 100.5 in X and 99.5% in Y and it worked as
expected.

 

AutoCAD has a printer/Plotter calibrate option and I did not check Canvas
but I would expect that there is an independent printer calibration option
so the original data can be left untouched.

 

For Gerber printing the GC-Preview will allow independent scaling.

Note, some software allows independent scaling of both X & Y to compensate

 I'm using Deneba's CanvasT which I have used for years now because it
doesn't break. I use the software for my renovations and PCB's and radio
chassis assemblies, on a Mac. It does it all including the setting of the
printout to any percentage but only in whole numbers. 100.5% just isn't
there.
