Maybe a better (longterm) solution would be to get rid of the current plot dialog and create a new CAM output dialog combining gerber generation, drill file generation and position file genertation.

It is quite confusing right now. If i want to create gerber why would i not want the drill file to be created. Yes i will want to have the same settings available as with the drill dialog right now but some of them should only be setable in one place. One example would be the use of the auxilary origin. If it is enabled in gerber then i will want it in the drill and position file as well.

Some of the current plot features could be either export or print options (export to svg instead of plot to svg. print to pdf instead of plot pdf.)
Or we could decide that they are simply other datatypes for the CAM export.

Such a CAM dialog could then also handle exporting and importing CAM settings.
