printCAD (gilbertorconde)MCADConfidence: Medium

Print compensation now offsets holes and bosses before meshing for STL/3MF. A script's file.export in the app applies it, but printcad --script still writes bodies as drawn, and STEP is never compensated. Same part, three export paths, three possible results. They documented it in the command's note.
