Didn't try this from within AXIS, I'm using the command line. The chmod
is to set the flags (x) to let the operating system know this is an
executable.
If it works from within axis, the better.

John,
As it so happens, I tested this today:
- Save the file in your home directory
- Set as executable: chmod ugo+x ENGRAVE-11.py
- Run: ~/ENGRAVE-11.py

There are some g code generators that might help you on this page

also there is some sample g code programs in your nc_files directo
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
There is also pcb-gcode which is a plugin for eagle.

No. You need to study your machine and do some basic arithmetic.
How many full steps per rev? For 95% of the motors used on CNC
machines, that is
ve are 1/8
degree.

Well, we have been progressing well in the learning curve for my new
SHERLINE mill. I have been running the mill in CNC manual mode - Axis
(EMC2) and noticed that the indicated distance is not the same as the actual
tool movement.
When I set up my config file I cannot use the "SHERLINE DRIVER"
