I use Target V8 for the PCB layout save the file then use the
engraving isolation chanels output feature this outputs a hpgl.plt
file which when loaded into Kcam is to small and in the wrong place.
This has to be converted to a dxf i use corel draw and then resize
and position it in a cad program. save as a dxf and import into
Kcam. Its easier to do than type. well for me anyway i can show
someone how to do anything on a computer but if i have to write it
down it all goes to pot :)
