Thank you for adding gcode export to gEDA/PCB. I've been using it to
mill boards PCBs with great results using with EMC2 and a $600
zentoolworks CNC.
Two questions:
- Is there a way to break up the drill file so that I can switch bits?
I'm getting by with using one bit for all vias, but it is not ideal.
- I'm struggling with cut lines. Specifically, cutting out the
mounting holes and the circuit board edges. It would great if there
was a way to select specific traces or vias for different mill-depths.
Even better if I could control the order in which the cuts are made so
I don't have a circuit board that has been cut free from it's clamping
before the mount holes were cut. I've been creating multiple pcb files
with the objects that I need different mill-depths. This kind of
works, but quickly turns into a nightmare when changes are made to the
original circuit.
Does anyone have more elegant solutions? I'm happy to use a 3rd party
program like gcam or even inkscape if necessary.
