PCB Milling for Fanuc

[viroy]

Hello,
I have been designing my PCB board in solidworks the hard way (drawing shapes) and would like to move to an actual PCB design software.
I use the Fanuc post processor in SolidCam to generate my Gcode normally.

What software should I use?
It would be nice to import the PCB design into SolidCam for optimizing toolpaths... but not necessary.

Thanks,
J

Cadsoft Eagle could help you to draw a correct schematics, create a board according to the schematic, and export a g-code file from your board.
In Eagle, plugins are called "ulp"s, are in c-like language and access the sch/brd database.
After you draw the schematic, you open the board (leaving sch opened !!!!), position components on desired places and route the airwires. After that, use "pcb-gcode.ulp" or "gcode1.ulp" to create the g-code.
Both pcb-gcode and gcode1 are available on the Download/ulp area on the Cadsoft webpage. Google can help you more

Free version of Eagle allow a pcb of 8x10cm, with 2 layers, but "medicine" can be found on the internet.
