GerbV version 2.61 (the latest stable) does not support correctly oval drill, so if you merge PTH and NPTH drill files with that tool, you will have a wrong result and you will produce a bad board… and I wouldn’t trust the buggy GerbV beta version (which is not been updated since an year)
I know that kicad is acting in the right way, but at the same time I would appreciate the option to merge the files internally, only when needed to give those files to the ‘blamed’ fabs …
unfortunately the merge option has been removed for a cleaner policy, but it seems it will be reintroduced because of users common needs…
Hi,
as asked at the forum:
https://forum.kicad.info/t/creating-a-footprint-with-drilled-holes/1625/13
some people need a merged drill file for e.g. OSHpark and Itead fabs
It would be nice to have the option to merge them again, as in previous...
would help in reviving the request…
