Unfortunately, no. There are lots of places you can add your own code, if you¡¯d like to implement this yourself. Unfortunately, no. But as above, you might implement this yourself. Lines/wires on

Try putting the cursor in the window, press and hold the ALT key, left click and hold and position the window with the mouse, release both keys and the window should stay in that position.

Happens in Windows 10 too. By hiding the dock I was able to just get to the area that designates whether metric or imperial. Still isn't great though.

Re: Five paths to cut a square?

Hi Martin, I believe that is a modified version, but haven't been able to figure out who did it. I've search my drives, and don't see any version of the code or pertinent files that mention 'stencil'.

Hi JJ, Ever more questions - sorry. Does that imply that the stencil output is deduced from the copper layers? Sorry. What is "on one of the other layers"? It looks like yours? From

Hi M, Pcb-gcode only uses the top, bottom, mill, and text layers. This might be why you're seeing a bounding square - it's actually on one of the other layers. Is it possible you're using someone's

Ah, I see. I¡¯m not sure why that happens. Pcb-gcode just processes the line segments that Eagle gives to it, so it looks like Eagle saw the need to pass that extra line segment. Regards, JJ

... or maybe I'm using the wrong word with "path"? Let me try again... Line 32 "G00 X19.0000 Y10.5000 " gets the tool to the North-West corner of the square. Line 34 "G01 X21.0000 Y10.5000 F360.00 "
