If you just change the one line like I said, it will not output suffixes, so pcb will save in mm but read in cmils! IIRC, 20100929 can read units suffixed with "mm" or "mil". We may want to check on this and use suffixed units as appropriate, rather than keeping in the "unsuffixed cmils" tradition. -- Andrew Poelstra Email: asp11 at sfu.ca OR apoelstra at wpsoftware.net Web: http://www.wpsoftware.net/andrew
