Hi guys,
First up, I’m aware that this issue doesn’t directly pertains to KiCad but it’s fairly related so here it goes…
I’m trying to merge a couple of board for panelization purposes that have complex outlines and contain some oval holes. You can see the panel at https://UltimateHackingKeyboard.com/blog/2015/05/11/the-5th-generation-pcb-has-arrived
With gerbmerge
I cannot merge them in an optimal fashion because the shape of the boards is very complex and gerbmerge
can only deal with square shaped boards optimally.
I’ve also tried to merge the boards with gerbv
from the command line which worked fairly well except that gerbv
apparently doesn’t handle the oval holes of the USB connector and converts them to circular holes. This is a show stopper.
I’m looking for other ways to merge gerbers. The solution should preferably work on Linux and from the command line.
Thanks in advance!
