Export Gerber options.

Note: All gerber files are exported to the format RS-274X. This is the industry standard format for Gerber data, plus all apertures are embedded so no aperture list is necessary.

Note: To improve accuracy of exported Gerber files, select Decimal Digits of 4 (or higher).

Note: Gerber files exported from ACE Translator support polygon fills, composites, step/repeat, etc.
