Subject: [geda-user] G-code exporter now supports predrilling

Hello all,

I've just committed my first contribution to pcb's Git repository, the 
predrilling feature for the G-code exporter. This is part of Traumflug's 
wishlist:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/699497

Predrilling is using the milling tool to mark all drill spots. This 
eases and enhances accuracy of manual drilling. Actually, if you prefer 
to drill manually, you can do all the G-code stuff with one tool now, 
making swapping between a mill and a drill bit obsolete.

The difference between patch #12 of the wishlist and this patch is, 
drills for predrilling are sorted regardless of size, so performance 
should be better. As before, additional drill files for each drill size 
are created.

Please test.


Markus
