Eagle wire flat is NOT

CHANGE WIDTH 200 MIL SET WIRE_BEND @ 7 CHANGE STYLE CONTINUOUS WIRE FLAT (0000 1000) +0 (0108 1141); WIRE FLAT (0108 1141) +0 (0167 1200); WIRE FLAT (0167 1200) +0 (0233 1251);

So, how the F do i make it FLAT (NOT rounded) on the ends??

Photoplot uses a round SPOT to 'strike a line', so it plots a straight line which ends with a rounded nose? Put a square SMD pad at the end of the "line".

The "plotting tool" is a round point. If you photoplotted with a square "plotting tool", you lines would vary in width as the tool transitioned through various angles other than straight x and y runs.

Like I said before. PLACE a square pad at the end of your run if you want a squared end on it.

Layout packages have the manufacturer tooling in mind. Any time you end a line not on a pad or via, it will have a rounded end.

UV, Laser, Xray, etc. All types of photo plotting/etching involves a "light source" which is round. So all PCB software will operate this way. Some modern packages allow the designer to get around it with a feature they incorporated, which eagle would likely not be at yet.

Put a square SMD pad there.

The FLAT modifier only applies to ARC's, Otherwise wire ends are rounded.

LOOK at the results IN eagle; ignore the photoplot.

So you are saying that once again,the "help" is inaccurate and incomplete. The syntax allows FLAT as well as ROUND; the so-called help file eXplicitly sez so.

Then contact the authors. Jeez.

If both are there, yet only one works as expected, either YOU or the application has an issue.
