Still using Eagle version 7.7. Our Gerber RS-274X file sizes are huge, and we would like to reduce the size in order to decrease fab processing time. Line width is set. I was informed that the other culprit is Eagle's 274X vectorized output that does not utilize RS-274X poly fill capabilities.
Is there a way to configure Eagle to output RS-274X employing poly fills? Is there a fix in later releases? Would using Gerber X2 reduce file sizes? Does X2 employ poly fill? Bottom-line, would upgrading fix this problem for us?
