        With you on the rest, in spirit anyway, but if some-
        one here tries this we take them out back and shoot
        them.  Not even a ceremony!  Only because we've had
        to revise boards where someone had done this...

        Sure hope you have a scripting facility in that tool...

        Again with you in spirit but hope you're not holding
        your breath!

        Back to topic, I've seen difficulties w/274X - and the
        more complex the artwork the more likely the troubles.

        Primarily talking from experience w/Cadence, who really
        did write their outputs ***EXACTLY*** to the spec, and
        many CAM packages didn't read the deep heirarchy that is
        implicit in complex files very well.  This is improving
        over time as all packages evolve.  Have not had troubles
        in recent history.

        Regards,
