Jerry,

We have a valor Genesis seat and enjoy the ODB++ format as a better
method of analysising and preparing designs for fabriaction.

However, as a fabricator I have not had 1 customer offer or inquire
about sending me an ODB++ database instead of gerber.  We are however
now receiving Pads ASCII input and DXF input in place of gerber.. This
is a very good trend.

I have no idea of ODB++ will become the format of choice but I do
believe that board designs out put as a single file can be better
translated to a plot language (gerber) by the people plotting it than
by someone else.
