Re: gEDA-user: Enhancements for gEDA/pcb G-code export

My suggestion is that the ability to specify settings predefined
levels of machines. Either by making an addition to the current
gcode exporter, (dropdown list) or by making a separate RepRap
exporter. By factoring out common code and placing a clean API on it.
For one, it's not only RepRap which doesn't understand the current
advanced G-code, but many CNC machines in wide use. Tooling machines
have a long life and 30 years ago the computing technology simply
wasn't where it is today.
That said, a general "simple G-code" vs. "advanced G-code" is a good
idea. Simple works on all machines, advanced on modern machines only.
Similar to PostScript level 2 vs. PostScript level 3. The actually
machined result is always the same, the difference is in hand editing
comfort of that G-code.
