Thanks for your interest in pcb-gcode!

In case you haven't heard, pcb-gcode creates g-code files to allow you to cut out the tracks of printed circuit board using a router or milling machine. It also can create drill files, and milling files for cutouts in the board, or to cut the board out of a larger piece. It eliminates slivers that can short between tracks by making multiple passes, each one offset a little from the other one. It is also /very/ configurable. Here are a few of the many features:

o It's free!
o Easy to use setup screen!
o Create files for the top, bottom or both sides of the board.
o Select if you want to cut out the traces for one or both sides.
o Select if you want to drill holes from one or both sides.
o Choose how much copper to remove around the tracks.
o Quick setup for your machine's controller using Profiles.
o Insert your own g-code into some or all of the files produced.

There is, of course, much more. I hope you will enjoy using pcb-gcode, and let everyone on the pcb-gcode group at Yahoo!

know how it's working for you.

I always welcome feedback from users, good or bad. If it's polite, I'm listening! In fact, pcb-gcode wouldn't be half the system it is today without the feedback of it's users. I thank them all.
