I created this CAM job for Aisler based on their page here:
https://aisler.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/how-should-i-name-my-gerber-files
Slots don't show up in the previewer, although "Elongated holes defined on
the plated/ non-plated holes layer are supported down to 0.450mm":
https://aisler.groovehq.com/knowledge_base/topics/2-layer-beautiful-boards-design-rules-and-specifications
I can only assume this is correct. However one trick I did which worked
with Seeed and also worked with Aisler: I removed the slot lines from the
outline file and put them in the .GML file (perhaps redundant, but it
didn't fail). IIRC the slots were supposed to show up in the .GML file but
they didn't, so I improvised by moving them to the outline layer and then
manually moving them to the .GML file)
So now I am a bit conflicted. That board came back from the fab fine, it is
lit up next to me. The slot shows up in the exporter. On the other hand
this CAM job should work for Aisler yet the slot doesn't show up in their
previewer.
This is the relevant section to be added to cam.conf:
{gerber:Aisler} {
desc gerber export for Aisler's filename convention
plugin gerber
write %base%.toplayer.ger=top-copper
write %base%.bottomlayer.ger=bottom-copper
write %base%.internalplane%top_offs+1%=intern-copper
write %base%.topsilkscreen.ger=top-silk
write %base%.bottomsilkscreen.ger=bottom-silk
write %base%.topsoldermask.ger=top-mask
write %base%.bottomsoldermask.ger=bottom-mask
write %base%.toppaste.ger=top-paste
