  • The solderstop mask can have additions
  • Puts out packages "Without FLIP" in the SHAPE call
  • Arcs in the board outline are split into short chords because some viewers do not implement ARCs
  • Signal polygons are passed as PLANEs
  • Alphanumeric pad names can be specified instead of just the pin number
