Hi,

I had a board manufactured about a month ago and when I got it back there
was a strange issue with the silkscreen. (see attached image) All of the
circles in the silkscreen layers are absolutely giant and all centered on a
point offset from the board.

The gerbers were generated with KiCad BZR 5101, gerber format 4.6, mm for
the units, and absolute positioning.

Another person that used the same pcb service I used had the same problem
using the same gerber settings with BZR 4988.

The service (hackvana) believes this to be a KiCad issue rather than an
issue at the fab. I tried looking at the gerbers a bit, but I don't know
enough about the gerber format to know what to look for.

I attached the gerbers used for the board as a zip for those who want to
look through them.

Thanks!
Jon Neal
