Bug Description
Gerbview currently expects tool "information" to be defined in the header which includes drill size, etc.
Excellon drill format allows this to occur in the body as the C# and S# commands are defined in the program body section of the spec and must be coupled with the T#. In fact the "header" is considered optional in the excellon spec and the CNC will run any commands normally in the header in the body just fine.
PADS PCB generates Excellon files which do not include any tool info in the header.
I was going to fix this as I have loads of PADS PCB generated nc drill files to test with but just throwing this on here for documentation.
