I use the following cli options to display the board mirrored and rotated: -r, --rotate= Set initial orientation for all layers. -m, --mirror= Set initial mirroring axis (X or Y). Did you try them? For example, to see the board up-side-down (flipped along y-axis) and rotated 90 deg: $ gerbv -my -r90 -p Gerber/gerbv.gvp &

I see this bug, too. The problem will only occur under new versions of gcc where -fno-common is now the default. The solution is to modify the definition of CALLBACKS_SAVE_FILE_TYPE. Instead of: enum { ... } CALLBACKS_SAVE_FILE_TIME; it should be enum CALLBACKS_SAVE_FILE_TIME { ... }; There are other enums in the same file that need the same treatment.

It seems that this results from blanks in the drill file. The standard CADSTAR (version 18 for me) drill file definition contains the line "SPACES 1" which results in drill files with blanks between the coordinates like that: T4 X-0887150 Y0459500 X-0830000 Y0427700 This seems to be misinterpreted by gerbv. A workaround would be to set the CADSTAR definition to "SPACES 0", however this may not be easy to do in a company with shared drill file definitions. I would prefer that gerbv can accept the...

After more use, i have discovered that most of the time you can align 2 layers with this new feature. It only dosent work if the apitures are not standard shapes, When it works, which i have found is most of the time, its a huge time saver. Thanks This ticket could maybe be closed now, as i can see why nonstandard or poured aptitures would be very hard to align by.

After a bit of digging and fiddling, I have the following additional info: The drill file's coordinate precision was 3.5. The problem goes away when I reduce the file precision to 3.4. So, it appears that gerbv cannot handle more than 4 digits after the decimal place. I also find it strange that, with a file precision of 3.3, the autodetect doesn't pick up the right number of digits and I have to edit the file format after importing.

It looks to me as very specific implementation. Although it is easy to implement, I will not do this because it is specific. With Gerbv 2.7 you can export Gerber file to gEDA pcb (or pcb-rnd) format, add drills in pcb program with comfort and then export to Excellon file. Good enough?
