Example: converting Gerber files that contain pucholes to PDF or illustrator format.
Punch holes, will not transfer to PDF or illustrator as there are certain restrictions and rules used by each cad program.
In this case we can manually add punch holes in the conversion process to your PDF file so you can see punch holes on your patterns.
