gendrill modifications


ryan williams
 

hi all,

I just posted a modified gendrill.cpp file. For those who can compile, if you are interested, try it out. It adds some options for the NC Drill files. here is what is changed:

-added call to SetParams() so that metic is possible.
-fixed metric tool size problem
-changed header: title is a header comment, not an M47 break command.
-changed header: added a drill format comment (for clarity with manufacturers)
-added y-axis orientation, option mirror: checked is the old way.
-added minimal header option: only tools and units are included
-added 2:3,2:4 inch format old inch format is now called "Decimal"
-added 3:2,3:3 metric format. decimal is also added. maybe 4:2/3 would be more useful?

I have milled a board made with inch,2:3,supress trailing, minimal header. I have also had one manufactured with the 2:4 setting. I checked all the others in GC-Prevue, and ViewMate gerber viewers. They seems to work properly. I was compiling on the last test release but don't think this part changed anyway. Lots of code was changed and some new function added. I did not change any of the Drill sheet code and I hope I didn't mess any of if up, but I seems that code is pretty much seperate.
