Using Gerbmerge with Upverter Gerbers

Why?

Many board houses have a fixed price for certain sized boards. If you have design where multiple can fit within this area, you can get more boards by combining your gerbers together into a single file for the board house. The gerbmerge python script can help you do this, but it stumbles on more complex geometry that newer PCB programs like Upverter output. However, we can use the gEDA program gerbv to help us convert the complex gerbers into a simple format for gerbmerge.

Steps

Download the Gerber Format and NC Drill files from your upverter project's download tab. We need both of these because even though
