Re: Circuit Board Programs

2002-08-17 by crankorgan

George,
       There are files on the internet showing how to use Eagle
to produce outline files as a DXF. There is also a script to
produce GCode. There is a program called Target that also
does outline files. Both Target and Eagle have free versions.

      I use TurboCad to make DXF files. I turn these into GCode using 
KCam. See my past posts!  Milling circuit boards is perfect for
prototyping. Even though I was selling boards that were milled. I
am going with etching done by a PCBoard house.

                                        John
