Re: gEDA-user: fabrication drawing -- how to modify, or create an alternate fab drawing

[Bert Timmerman <bert.timmerman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I was busy coding a dxf HID when something else came up :(

I left the very buggy version 0.0.1 over here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljh4timm/pcb-dxf-hid.html

I made some changes after this release, so I will put equally buggy
version 0.0.2 here soon.

Patches are always welcome :)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
