New Version 1.1
I have improved the part placement with "Placement Component".
Into this "bin", you have all parts imported from netlist.
Will be more easy to place part according to your needs :
e.g. when you have all parts imported, first of all place the connectors then the switch button, other mechanical parts, micro and so on...
It is possible to place parts sequentially or one by one, on top layer or bottom layer (e.g. SMD)
I have added some command for the shapes, like:
Trim Line gives you the opportunity
to trim lines.
Offset Line gives you the opportunity to copy or move shapes horizontally or vertically.
Static Snap gives you a point on which you can insert an object like Line,Board Outline,Parts and so on.
Added the file Slot NCDrill Excellon and its report.
On the "Padstack" form with the button "Past Pad" you can import on that padstack library a selected pad.

Now is possible to copy parts.
The reference number will be created with the first free number.
e.g. Parts Placed -> R1-R2-R3 and R5-R6 when place/copy a new part the reference will be R4.

Now it is possible to update the local footprint from library.
The command "Replace Component" update only the selected footprint. Instead, "Update part from Library" changes all parts with the same footprint.
Inproved Placement Mounting Hole. Now it is possible to insert a multi MHole.

ZenitPCB GerberView is a valid tool to check your job, showing you the ASCII files ( Gerber and NC-Drill ) .
The program opens your files and show them with layer.
You can show (key v) or hide (h) layers.
When the pcb has a high density of SMD parts,you could chose to plot or not the silkscreen reference, to avoid that the silk paint cover some pads.
A silk triangle means that this part don't plot the reference.

On 1.4 new No plot type.
