[sdiy] (MOTM style) DRILLING TEMPLATE/GUIDE??? ready to start makng better looking panels

[Csaba Zvekan]

Also I always wondered how to make a G-Code out of a HPGL file. Is  
there a converter?. I am using MACH3 has anybody some suggestions. I  
really would like to engrave my panels with my DIY CNC in the future.  
I just don't know how ? Or would I import it in AutoCAD and re-import  
in MACH 3 ?
