Roger, will try it with the space.
Yeh tried the hatch and not really a success, a few hatchlines cross the outline boundarys, its just not going to work.
Not fussed about the HPGL, PLT so don't bother fixing if it is just for me, as long as I can get the drill marks with gbr's then I will use that method and raster till a good vector solution comes up.
I mentioned inthe updates thread you have some sort of underflow bug with the diagonal hatch sending the laser to 9999,9999 at times.
ok, tried the space and it works, awesome, it does have an issue where the via drills (T1 0.5) are displaying as a larger T2 or T3 but I can work aroubd that, I just want drill marks really so I might just drill everything at 0.5mm for the moment.
I just scanned a film under glass at 0.1mm feed 1000 and laser 30 and the quality is amazing despite being a little over exposed, so good that I am attempting something new, sticking an exposed film onto the copper. Drying it at atm, can't see it working, I think the mylar top film will rip half the resist off the pcb as it is not a full sheet of film.
