Option to not have tabs or v-cuts on LR or TB #92

Closed serialx closed 3 years ago

I'm a software engineer myself. Sorry for not reporting a bug, this is rather a feature request. :)

I'm really impressed by KiKit's capabilities! Can't wait to try it out! Just one more thing. Can KiKit do a panelization like this video?

It is very appealing because routed edges are very smooth and high quality. One would like to reduce v-cuts to improve the board edge quality. After seeing the CLI docs and examples, I don't think KiKit currently supports this kind of panelization.

Thank you for taking time in developling KiKit. It will be an invaluable software for open source hardware!

Sure, it does support it...
