RE: [kicad-users] Gerbview and drill file
Thank you Robert, That is what I feared. I use GC-Prevue to do it. It is important for me because I view simultaneously the drill file and one of the cupper and mask file, so it is very easy to see if I have forgotten to check any case in the pad proprieties during creating a module. This future improvement for Kicad (gerbview) seems to be very important for me.

[kicad-users] Gerbview and drill file
Hello, I have not found a way to view a drill (.drl) file with Gerbview. Is this right or how may I do? Regards, Jean-Paul Jean-Paul Gendner 03.88.27.03.44
