Re: gEDA-user: Comments on pcb's g-code exporter & HeeksCAD/HeeksCNC FOSS program for pcb milling

Markus,

The outline layer is working fine now, when I draw a rectangle with 
lines - even a sloppy rectangle where the lines have kinks, or an 
unclosed rectangle. The exporter adds the tool offset as well. Very 
nice! However, the gcode export always crashes if I try to define the 
outline with a rectangle.

I have not been able to replicate my earlier problem. I must have really 
made a big mistake.

Thanks,
Dave
