Gerber

Gerber: Set the default reading parameters for GERBER file.
UNIT: Set the unit of GERBER file.
Significant Digit: Set the decimal point and effective number of characters for numbers. DIGIT means real part of number and DECIMAL means parts behind “.”(dot). Some of GERBER file’s representation would be 00235.567. In this case, DIGIT value would be 5 and DECIMAL would be 3. Generally, PollEx PCB ignores the value of DIGIT.
