Re: [Pcb2gcode-devel] Some minor fixes to pcb2gcode

[Lionel S. C. <lio...@gm...>]

Dear all

I find very restrictive that pcb2gcode outputs gcode directly. If gcode syntax has to change or language has to change (dxf, gerber, …) it needs to be compiled again.

Do you think that it may be more suitable to output (let’s say) a m4 file and then convert it to gcode using a M4 template.

It is just an idea perhaps m4 is not the good language, or this idea is bad, but I think that it may be the best solution. 
Template may be different for drilling, milling, milling stencils, …

Any ideas ?
