PCB Milling in 0.19 #31

I'm unable to find any instruction on how to do milling with your script. I found this in an old forum post :

click 'make path from shape' button in Path workbench to convert to gcode

But this button doesn't exist anymore. Also, "Create a path pocket" doesn't seems to work as it only supports a single solid. Only part of the board is being milled. (Freecad 0.19.1, master fcad_pcb)

It's my understanding that milling is the use case of this repository. Maybe it'd be worth adding instructions ? My goal is to mill tracks with v-bit and drill holes with endmill.

I'll write some tutorial about this soon.
