Strange, I can't reproduce the error any more, regardless whether I use 
the "pcb" or "pcbfill" option. I also have the same pstoedit version 
3.75 / DLL interface 108.

I do recall however running into some safety issues when experimenting 
with different ways to create EPS files, tinkering with ImageMagick 6 
policy settings just prior to triggering those errors, but I never kept 
any of those changes. Ah well ...

In my pcb files, Layer 5 is bottom silk, and Layer 6 is top silk. But 
this is easily adjusted.

That's weird, I only get positive Y values here. Anyway, I might give it 
a shot using grep, cut, sed and sort to manipulate the X and Y values -- 
even though I think it's going to be pretty inefficient.

Thanks again,

Regards,

Richard
