Suddenly I found strange thing. System DXP2004, I made Gerber files for manufacturer. QFP chips placed with step of 90 degrees, turn out with normal rectangular apertures, each leg is described by one aperture.
On a new design I has put one QFP under a corner of 45 degrees. I take out in Gerber and send a file to manufacturer, and it returns to me Gerber back - because I made wrong apertures.
I look at this microcircuit closely in Camtastic - yes, each pad not solid, and consist of several lines in width 5mils. I turn a QFP chip on 90 degrees - pads solid. I turn on 45 - again lines. Well, we admit, that Pr0tel does not know that apertures can turn not only under a right angle (though it is rather strange for such powerful package) and replaces them by lines.
Already even the manufacturer has agreed to draw pads by lines, only requirement - the width of a line should not be less than 5mils. But I cannot find at all where to change this width!
Who with such collided, how such to treat? On protel.com in knowledge base anything such it is not mentioned
