Bug Description
Hi,
when working under a German locale setting (e.g. LANG=de_DE.UTF-8), which I normally do, pcb generates invalid pcb files.
If components include ElementArc definitions, the degree values are formatted with a comma instead of a dot as decimal separator. This is the usual German convention for decimal number formatting, but in this particular case, it is wrong behaviour. As a result, pcb cannot read the file anymore.
This has been tested with version 4.2.2.
For the moment, I work around the problem by setting locale to "C".
Best regards,
Erik
