[... snip ...] I presume you are talking about autogeneration of a fab drawing and fab notes? PCB does produce a drill drawing as a Gerber layer. In the past, I've embedded the drawing into a larger template (in Visio) and then drawn the stack-up and other info using Visio to create a fab drawing with fab notes on it. This is an entirely manual process, and is outside if gEDA/gaf's capabilities. Hmmmm.... The idea of autocreated fab notes/drawing is a good one. I could envision doing this using Latex/metafont driven from an external script. Or maybe via a Makefile? Or doxygen? The script would read in some type of template holding boilerplate fab notes, insert a .eps version of the drill file, and then output a .ps or .pdf fab drawing. This will make a nice GSoC project. Do you know any students looking for a summer project?
