Is it possible using the CLI approach to have milled radius not effect actual boards? #591

KiKit has two features with a completely different purpose:

Thanks for the quick reply. Yup, I've used both, but tab fillets only does the tabs, so I get square corners on my frame still - but I guess I can live with that as I don't have how JLC route that on this panel. But I think the mill radius issue I show here is a bug as it's not actually doing what a mill bit would do in this case, it's just contracting the hole. The half hole shape should not change at all. |

Ok, I found that the issue is the size of the mill radius. If I set it to 1.5mm or below, it doesn't change the holes at all, like I'd expect would happen. So it's a combo of the mill radius size and the hole size. But I still feel a shape like that should never be shrunk down in radius with the mill function. |

At the moment, both features are a little bit clumsy. To some extent, they are limited by the current geometry engine. There are plans for migrating to another one for KiKit 2. But it will take a while... |

For my simpler panellising I like using the CLI instead of coding up the panelisation in Python, but I've stumbled onto an issue where if I include a milled radius, it's effecting parts of my boards where I don't want it to.
I have some half holes cutouts on the edge of my boards, and using :
--post 'millradius: 2mm;' \
Turns this:
Into this :(
