Greetings,

gaf version 1.10.2 (g5a69d90) under Slackware Linux 14.2 (32-bit k4.4.240).

I am using "gaf export" as one step to convert some of my .sch files to dxf for qcad. The B-size (11x17) option in my script produces a portrait output when I need landscape, so I tried using
"--layout=landscape" as an argument to "gaf export" but it responds with an error:

export: option '--layout' doesn't allow an argument

The help ("gaf export --help") says:

  -l, --layout=ORIENT    page orientation

The gaf manpage says:

       -l, --layout=(auto | landscape | portrait)
               When  using  a paper size, set the orientation of the output.  If `auto' layout is
               used, the orientation that best fits the drawing will be used.

Bug? Is this argument position dependent? I have it at the end of the arguments, just before the input file spec. Here is my script line for gaf:

PSIZE="na_ledger"

PLAYOUT="--layout=landscape"

gaf export -o ${TEMPFILE} -f ps --paper=${PSIZE} --no-color ${PLAYOUT} ${INFILE} || exit

To be complete, gaf is converting to PostScript and that file is subsequently input to pstoedit to convert the PostScript file to dxf.

Thanks.
Girvin
