Holes for THT elements are not drilled in milldrill.ngc #728
Description
Description of bug:
What did you try (include command-line arguments):
- I created project in easyeda that includes tht elements
- Having pcb2gcode config I generated gcodes
What happened:
Holes for tht elements are not drilled (I dont want to drill them on the back side, all on the front)
What did you expect to happen:
Holes for tht components are drilled in milldrill.ngc
pcb2gcode version (run pcb2gcode --version to see this):
2.5.0
