well, it's not exactly what you would want for SMD but it is nice.
looks to me as if tracks between 100mil dil are already a problem.

Another thing is that the holes on the pads are not open, you might think
this is easy to fix with the software, well, i tried 2 weeks and it didn't
work out.

Now i use TT and it is really WYSIWYG.

Not that i wouldn't encourage plotter experiments, i just want to say it
seems like a pretty
good idea but for me it didn't work out at all.
