Hi,

Now that so much work is happening on re-structuring menus, I've remembered
something I have always found weird on pcbnew.

"Plot", from wihch you can obtain Gerbers is not inside "Fabrication
Outputs", but on its own.
I find it weird to have the drill option inside "Fabrication Outputs" but
not the Gerbers (they are normally needed together and in fact, you can go
to "Drill" from "Plot").

If "Plot" was Gerber only, I would recommend moving it inside "Fabrication
Outputs" straight away but because it also exports other formats, it's not
so straightforward.

I think ideally we would have:

- Fabrication outputs
    - Gerber...
    - Drill
    - ...
- Export
    - STEP
    - PDF...
    - Postcript...
    - DXF...
    - ...

And I have just noticed SVG can be obtained from "Plot" or the "Export"
submenu. Is it the same?

What do you guys think? I'm not necessarily suggesting looking into this
before KiCad 5, just wanted to have your view.

Thanks,
Diego
