I made a slot using the new slot layers. 2 interesting things happened.
 
The first one is that Oshpark doesn't support the method pcb-rnd uses to
call out slots. That doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, it just seems
to mean Oshpark doesn't know if all their factories are on the same page
about that specific form of slot callout. I notice Oshpark supports G85
slots, and I see G85 mentioned in the preferences for the Gerber exporter.
Is this an option to change the slot callout method? Oshpark slot support:
 
https://docs.oshpark.com/submitting-orders/slots/
 
 
The 2nd interesting thing is that Oshpark tells me:
 
 
   - Your project contains 2 drill files, we've merged them.
   ["main.plated-drill.cnc", "main.unplated-drill.cnc"]
 
 
main.unplated-drill.cnc contains a single line: M30
 
Is it okay to merge these files or do they need to be separate to tell the
fab what is and is not plated?
