This is not true at the X level.
It may be true at some higher level, but, if so, it's a defect in the
interface layer between that level and the underlying X level.

fab is a fabrication drawing outlining the numbers of holes and sizes and
general info. You should send it.
gbr. is the artwork for each layer. You should have:
top_copper.gbr
bottom_copper.gbr
top_silk.gbr

Well, there is a fair amount of standardization. Far from perfect but
some exits. Devices which use JEDEC packages seem pretty good, few
exceptions where you have to watch out for pin number. But JEDEC doesn't
cover every available package.

Have you tried the "rip up all autorouted tracks" option?

It seems the only way to deal with them is to create each footprint from
scratch eachtime I have to use one. Nearly eachtime I try to use an
existing footprint things turn out wrong.
There seems to be nearly no standardization in these things. Each chip
manufacturer gives them a different name, pcb

What you say needs careful replying - I am off for a long weekend, dont

What I have forgotten to say, the SVG contains all metadata for
schematics. I added them by extend the SVG DTD with private elements
and attributes (

Hi,
I read something about the SVG capabilities of Safari (WebKit.org

could also be possible to implement a complete SVG based file format

After some reading of the SVG standard specification, I wrote a basic
