Gerbv doesn't appear to render slot cycles present in Excellon drill files. It renders the initial plunge hole of each slot, but not the finished slots as defined with G85 codes.
Here is an example of a slot cycle from one of my drill files:
G05 T4 X2.0872Y0.6494G85X2.1463Y0.6494
It would be quite helpful if slot cycle support was added to gerbv.
I have the same (or similar) feature request for milled slots in my Excellon files created by Mentor Graphics.
Here is an example. There should be a slot milled, but gerbv shows only two circles.
It would be very helpful if gerbv could also display excellon files with milling data, like board outline or inboard cutouts or milled slots.
