oh i see ya am on windows . let me google how to increase cmd char limit
Hi hope you doing well can you tell that what is max gerber input file limit to the gerber 2 pdf . when i pass 100+ gerbers then it not work , so is it possible to increase the limit so that in one go we can input more then 100 gerbers and it convert it , i guess it will may need array size increase etc if you have set limit ! thanks
ok thanks a lot . i was using file names as bookmarks check in my script till this IN comment thing created problem for me lol
Hi hope u doing well currently gerber 2 pdf use file name for pdf bookmarks when it not found comment in gerber like %IN "my pcb" */ so it possible to complete disable that so that it always use file name for pdf bookmarks not internal gerber comment thanks

ya the 2nd problem also solved with this aperture of high range , earlier it was failing on the gerber i sent , now its OK . thanks
ok thanks
thanks also can u pls check this gerber , gerber 2 pdf failing on it seems like different header format
i have noticed in gerber file when apertures number is above thousand then we get error like : Error: Aperture code out of range: D1138 manual fix is i have to go through gerber file and changed aperture numbers to lower one like in case of D1138 had just remove 1 from it to make it D138. so can u pls fix it thanks
Hi hope u doing well can u pls review this gereber am not unable to convert it to pdf , seems like macro issue log Line 6 - Warning: Deprecated command: IN Line 7 - Warning: IC Parameter ignored Line 9 - Warning: Deprecated command: IP Line 10 - Warning: Deprecated command: AS Line 10 - Warning: AxisSelect ignored Error: Float expected Line 19 - Error: Invalid aperture macro Error: Float expected Line 24 - Error: Invalid aperture macro Error: Float expected Line 29 - Error: Invalid aperture macro...
yes much needed feature freeArch
thank you very much
ya adding header flag to cli will be good. these drill files are output of mentor pads . so ya Something like "--Header=MentoPads” will be great.

yes in multiple projects i have found this type of drill files and their header format is same.

Can you point me to a file format specification of the header? I can only parse it properly if I have a defined and specified grammar. I can of course infer it from examples, but can I be guaranteed that all header comments will follow...
thanks , also can you add ascii drill file support , which i think will not be that difficult as holes sizes are defined on header like ; Holesize 5. = 4.400000 Tolerance = +0.050000/-0.050000 NON_PLATED MM Quantity = 2 from that we can declare aperture size in gerber header and append coordinates
Hi there is bug in drill 2 gerber it fail on G85 code and also went into infinite loop and not respond . here is sample thanks
thanks will check out inkscape :) seems great
thanks for the amazing support , one more Question which is more like request LOL do you have any plan to make another version of this tool like Gerber2 PNG so that the outputs goes to png instead of pdf :)
sorry fixed it had to supply additional colors before -combine flag Gerber2pdf.exe -silentexit -nowarnings -page_size=extents -output=topnew2 top.GTL mask.GTS paste.GTP silk.GTO -colour=6,80,63 top.GTL -colour=184,115,51 mask.GTS -colour=184,115,51 paste.GTP -colour=255,255,255 silk.GTO -combine -colour=6,80,63 top.GTL -colour=184,115,51 mask.GTS -colour=184,115,51 paste.GTP -colour=255,255,255 silk.GTO

yes that-page_size=extents option is very helpful it generated the output i wanted , just one problem is that these individual layers are black and white can we have these individual layers in these respective colors as we mention in command Gerber2pdf.exe -silentexit -nowarnings -page_size=extents -output=topnew2 top.GTL mask.GTS paste.GTP silk.GTO -combine -colour=6,80,63 top.GTL -colour=184,115,51 mask.GTS -colour=184,115,51 paste.GTP -colour=255,255,255 silk.GTO output : topnew2.pdf have 5 pages...
Hi hope you doing well in this tough covid times :) i have one request will be thankful if you can add it normally when we stack layers they are aligned based on the largest one layer like if we run this command Gerber2pdf.exe -silentexit -nowarnings -output=topnew top.GTL mask.GTS paste.GTP silk.GTO -combine -colour=6,80,63 top.GTL -colour=184,115,51 mask.GTS -colour=184,115,51 paste.GTP -colour=255,255,255 silk.GTO it aligned all layers and stack it up as shown in screenshot , so am wondering can...

no problem . thanks for reply when i process such files with drill2gerber which missing inch in headers it put the tool in infinite loop and use a lot cpu and its stuck in loop , so i think it will be good if the tool check for header first that its ok then process it otherwise abort it. thanks
hi any update on the fix thanks
thanks :) Quick question out of curiosity... Why not get Altium to export gerber directly instead of converting from drill to gerber? well am working on tool which get drill files as input and convert them to gerber to process them ahead.
