Re: Eagle drill-files (was: faster steppers)

Alan,

I've been looking to buy a program that does just that...take a
gerber/excellon file combo, figure out how to isolate the pcb traces,
and output G code. I've found several groups that sell proprietary
software that works with their unique milling machines that do this,
but nothing that I could use.

Please tell me; what company sells the roughly $300 software that
computes the isolated milling paths and outputs G code?

Thanks,

Jim
