I am not shure if it is possible to have non-circular drill holes in gerber files. We can have the pad around the hole be of any shape, but the hole itself probably needs to be circular. We can have any shape hole we want, if we export it as a gerber file

Hello, When I use export - ps (postscript) inside PCB and set the media to 'Letter' the resulting images in the postscript file are perfectly centered and everything looks correct. The paper size of the ps file is also Letter. If I now export the postscript as 11x17 or C-Size

I don't think the copper shape / masking / clearance of the via is necessarily primitive. Granted, in 99.9% of cases it can be described by circular copper geometry on each connected layer, but support for arbitrary pad-stacks for components might as well extend to arbitrary via geometry. I'm
