Tools of the trade / Re: Cutting mylar stencils with a silohuette cameo
A ticket was already filed for this MacPorts bug a month ago:
"pstoedit 3.70 does not have most of the available drivers that 3.62 did"
http://https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47354
One of the missing drivers is the "pic" driver.

A patch was released for openSUSE.
http://https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory/pstoedit/pstoedit-pkglibdir.patch?expand=1

I tried going back and installing v3.62 r125207, but there were too many missing files.
Going to try a different route.

EDIT:
Success!
I just went with Homebrew, instead, which uses pstoedit v3.62.

So, if you are using MacPorts, just uninstall all your ports, then MacPorts.
Code: [Select]
sudo port -fp uninstall installed
sudo rm -rf 
        /opt/local 
        /Applications/DarwinPorts 
        /Applications/MacPorts 
        /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.* 
        /Library/Receipts/DarwinPorts*.pkg 
        /Library/Receipts/MacPorts*.pkg 
        /Library/StartupItems/DarwinPortsStartup 
        /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0 
        /Library/Tcl/macports1.0 
        ~/.macports

Then, go to http://brew.sh and follow the directions.
After installing Homebrew, install pstoedit, libusb (universal), and gerbv (x11).

Example: brew install pstoedit
Check that it's version 3.62 by using brew info pstoedit

Tools of the trade / Re: Cutting mylar stencils with a silohuette cameo
I'm finding that pstoedit doesn't appear to support the "pic" format on my OS X 10.10 Yosemite Mac. I'd like to think this is some install or configuration error, as it's just like the other errors other posters have presented here.

The error when running gerber2graphtec.py is (last line):
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '_tmp_gerber.pic'

And, sure enough, no pic file was created. The pdf file was created, but no pic file can be exported from the pdf via pstoedit:
Code: [Select]
Unsupported output format pic
Available formats :
	psf:			.fps:	Flattened PostScript (no curves) 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	ps:			.spsc:	Simplified PostScript with curves 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	debug:			.dbg:	for test purposes 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	dump:			.dbg:	for test purposes (same as debug) 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	gs:			.gs:	any device that Ghostscript provides - use gs:format, e.g. gs:pdfwrite 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------
	ps2ai:			.ai:	Adobe Illustrator via ps2ai.ps of Ghostscript 	(built-in)
-------------------------------------------

I'm still investigating, but beginning to wonder if the script will need to be rewritten for a format other than pic.
