Stencil Gerbers not supported?? #142

Closed robstoddard closed 2 years ago

robstoddard commented 2 years ago

These are regular gerber files, the issue is they're just not carried over.

The extension that needs to be supported is GBR. According to my (rather vanilla) cam files, my top and bottom solder stencil files are solderpaste_top.gbr and solderpaste_bottom.gbr. They should be handled like any other Gerber file.

Alternative- Allow users to specify which gerbers go where. We (theoretically) know what the output of our tools is, so we ought to be able to say "merge these gerbers..." ... and at that point you don't have to divine what gerbers are which and go where. Let the user figure that out.

If the extensions GTP and GBP for Top Paste and Bottom Paste are used, they should (ahem) travel across properly.
