    I think I may get it. The bmp is probaby built of small rectangles and I'm

    not sure how CAM export that. It wont be as round aperture wires for sure.

    It could be that gerbv has issues with that data.

    Does the export script do wires?

     

    Importing a bitmap results in small rectangles (pixel sized) which are

    later output as flash apertures in the gerber code.

     

    As Jorge mentioned, it should work with GCprevue (which I'm also using

    for decades now, and never had any problems), and gerbv seems to have

    problems with that.

    Gerbv has a bug which doesn't allow it to show features imported with

    the import-bmp.ulp. Try using Viewmate or GC-Prevue, even the online

    gerber viewer at www.circuitpeople.com will show you the correct

    features.

     

     

    Hi Jorge, aha...that explains why the bmp can be seen at certain low

    altitudes in gerbv..for 3 clicks of the mouse-wheel it can be seen...one

    more click and poof it's gone...I will investigate those suggestions and

    return

     

    @Tilaman thanks for explaining the forum/newsgroup thing..I will look into

    these when I get a mo
