Hi devs, New mailing-list member here.
When I print multiple layers from Gerbview, the layers appear one per page. Would like a radio button for pagination, to choose all layers on one page or one layer on each page. Pcbnew has this but not Gerbview. In my engineering workflow I print out a paper PCB "model" showing (only) the edges, drills, and silkscreen. With office tools I cut the edges and accurately punch out the drill holes for all mounting hardware, then I "install" the piece of paper in the mounting to show board shape and silkscreen in the actual housing and mounting. This is also a test of gerber integrity since the "model" is produced from preliminary gerbers. In my current workflow I have to print from Gerbview (to PDF) then postprocess the PDF to flatten it to one page. Note, I think pcbnew can print "real" drill if you include a copper layer but my "model" must not show any copper or soldermask. Silkscreen only. Also, a print from pcbnew is useless for gerber integrity. Whence, I am inquiring about the pagination feature for Gerbview, to be sure verification of gerber is included in the workflow. Clifford Simon I'm using (5.1.9)-1. I just saw the 5.1.10 release but I haven't downloaded it yet.
