Arc BUG

[phillipr]

V4.0 has a bug that takes curved traces trough to blaze fine but when they are read back in to powerpcb they have circles where the curves should be. This only happens on vertical layers.

workround

When going from blaze back to Powerpcb set all vertical layers to horizontal. Then switch them back.

Wow... that is not good!

Thanks for the info/workaround.

What happens if you set the layers to "any"?

We just took a design with 128 hand routed match lengths that have arcs in the surpintine patterns. We put the design into the Specctra autorouter. Specctra took all the arcs and flattened then out into rectangles. Not to pretty. So we ended up hand routing the entire board.

Any is ok!
Try it for yourself on the preview.pcb

Bug is fixed in V4.01
