I just tried this out

Very Nice program.

I would suggest that you run throught the tutorial First.

I drew up the sample board and dumped it out to G-Codes and then 
milled a demo board into a piece of lexan using a dremmel ball bit 
and it came out really nice.

(I need to order some real PC Board bits)

I think this one may be a keeper.

The demo will do up to 499 Pads
