Hi All,

I just pushed in 2016-09-19 revision 6edee2a an option in Plot Gerber dialog to include advanced
aperture and net attributes.
This option is not yet activated by default, because net attributes are not yet fully fixed by
Ucamco, in Gerber file format specifications.
To activate it, see dialog_plot.cpp, line 43, and uncomment line 44.

When activated, you can see a new option in Gerber plot dialog to include advanced X2 netlist
attributes.

If activated, the Gerber files contains some metadata, related to netlist info and aperture attributes.
When available, Gerbview can highlight a full net or a full set of items related to a gived
footprint or a given aperture attribute.
(Use right click on a Gerber item (line or flashed item) to access the context menu)
