What do you mean with outline file?

There is a patch on sourceforge that adds pre drilling, but a drillfile is needed anyways for those who wish to drill separately. > * parameters: there are five tunable parameters in the gcode export, > while there are roughly three times as many in pcb2gcode, most > prominently the feed rates and speed settings. while of course the > number of parameters is not an indicator of completeness or quality, i > think it is roughly representative of the state of pcb's gcode > support. Nobody has ever asked more (almost nobody uses this exporter); there is a patch to specify some more parameters, but you should request in detail what you need. > please don't take that personally, i just think it's not quite there -- > at least yet. No problem, at least you tried it; one thing I would ask you is to detail exactly what you need, so that I or somebody else can improve the code.
