non-standard Excellon files. The user will have to guess: units (IN/MM), type of zero suppression LZ/TZ

All of those can be adjusted in Menu -> Edit -> Preferences -> Excellon Object -> Excellon format
- fixed svgparse for Path. Now PCB rasted images can traced in Inkscape or PDF's can be converted
and then saved as SVG files which can be imported into FlatCAM. This is a convolute way to convert a PDF
