--000000000000b5eaea0586ef1237 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" The problem is that I was never able to get the slot layers to export to gerber, isn't that a known bug? .GML is seeed's file for milling. I couldn't get anything to show up in the file and that is why slots go in the Excellon file.
