New in Alpha 3:

* Several Gerber parser fixes.
* Excellon parser support for floating point coordinates.
* Scroll wheel support!
* Multi-width isolation is automated.
* Support for "P" (Regular polygon) aperture type in Gerber.
* Added measuring tool.
* Full support of Aperture Macros (AM) in Gerber.
* Multi-threading reliability issues (prevents some freezing).
* Board cutout tool now takes into account the tool width.
* Double-sided PCB Tool now can mirror Excellon Objects.
* Plot/Solid/Multicolored check boxes work for Gerber and Excellon.
* Icons!!!

Known problems in Alpha 3:

* Holes in standard apertures are ignored in Gerber parser.
* %LPD% and %LPC% are ignored in Gerber parser.
* Some anomalies saving and loading projects.
* Some other annoyances...

Hi!

  Good work in this release.

  I am having problems when open the drill (Excellon) file attached. "Parsing..." for a long time.

  Thanks!

Hi,

I am working with DIPTRACE and  Sprint-Layout 6.0.
Gerber Export from Sprint Layout is o.k.
Gerber Export from DIPTRACE still hangs in Parser.
A sample of Gerber-Export from Diptrace is attached.
May be you have time to look at it.
Kind regard
Horst

Hi Ismael,

I fixed it. Please get the latest camlib.py from https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/src

Thanks for pointing this bug out!

Hi,
I am not so familiar with the code generation procedures within bitbucket.

However, I downloaded Alpha 4 for WIN yesterday.

Perfect so far, Keep going !!

Kind regards
Horst
