Bug Description
Most of the software that is used in PCB production couldn't open gerber that was exported from KiCAD (pcbnew).
The reason is that it's format is incompatible with RS-274X standard.
I found a workaround: open exported gerber in gerbv and then export is again. It works and output from gerbv is fully compatible with RS-274X.
This is not urgent as there is known workaround, but it would be nice to have proper gerber export in pcbnew (maybe borrowing some code from gerbv is a good idea).

To post a comment you must log in.
Maybe post a "diff" made from before and after gerbv. It is an easy way to
illustrate the issue for starters.
