    Converting Eagle to DXF

    Hi Guys

    Ive not had too much luck with making pcb's, I either can't get the board flat or can't find the right bit.

    Im working on a spring loaded engraving tool, but it's taking a while.

    In the meantime I would like to use the mill with an etch resist pen, but how do I export the board from eagle to dxf, and how to I convert that dxf into gcode, so it basically draws where the tracks should be (and fills them in).

    Any Thoughts?

    DJH

    This isn't DXF, it's g-code, might help?

    Hiya

    Thats what ive been using, but I have been having problems getting the boards flat enough, I want to try it with an etching pen int he spindle, pcb-gcode removes the copper around the tracks, i need the pen to effectivley colour in the tracks

    Thanks anyhow tho

    I did this with Vcarve Pro, just to see If it would work.

    The holes are all the way thru. (1 side board).
