Hi,

As there were some questions recently upon creating HPGL output or
output for some 3D modelers a more general question: How are the
export filters of PCB currently implemented. I mean the ones you can
choose from File>Export layout: Gerber, PNG, PS, PDF, etc.

Are those hardcoded into PCB or is there any way to add additional
output filters without recompiling? Or is there some existing codebase
for transforming .pcb files into another format?

greetings,
Bernhard
