Kenny, The new Eagle version 5.2 has a new feature that uses the Ratsnest command to generate the mill path for a board. It uses a polygon labeled _OUTLINES_ as the vehicle and creates a script for a new layer with just the mill path. I've taken it this far and now need to see what I can do to get from the layer to GCodes, hopefully with the CAM processor.
