Is there a schedule for this fix ?
I also tested GerbV, and it can import PADS Excellon info directly, without issues.

Besides the embedded tool info in PADS

I have found GerbView also coughs around G85 Slot G-Codes.
Not sure if this needs to be a separate bug ? (as it is all PADS-Excellon related)

PADS gives this (This loads OK in GerbV)

However, GerbView needs this small manual fix

G05

ie add the G05. I think GerbView is treating a G85 as sticky, and any holes after the above lines, are treated as slot-polylines, (oops) unless the G05 patch is added.

Fix is probably to make any new Tool code, also reset the G85 mode ?
