Bug Description
It would be very nice if there was a function that could read a file (unique to every board) that controls the generation of production files.
The reason for having such function is:
- This is a very important step and it should not be done manually (more than once).
- When changing an old design it is desireble to be able to regenerate the manufacturing data with the same settings.
The file could contain:
#Gerber settings, PCB manufacturing data
- Layers to generate
- Gerber format and other settings that can be done manually
- Settings for drill file
#Printing and circuit board manufacturing data
- Layers to generate for printing
- Format and other stuff
#Other settings
- Output directory
- Naming conventions etc.

Marking as duplicate since "technology files" as eagle calls them cover most of this.
