Subject: attaching a pen to a cnc?

Has anyone tried attaching a very fine pen to a cnc then etch the pcb
board? Right now I'm using pcb-gcode but it's a pain because it takes
so long to remove all the material when 95% of the board is empty
space and 5% traces. Also until I get my vacuum holder, it is hard to
be quick with the setup. I'm thinking a pen mounted in the holder
will be able to write the traces better perhaps then I can chemically
etch them. Has anyone tried this? Thanks.
