Hi Leon,
The reason is that EasyPC does not produce a track/pad outline file
which can be converted into a gcode file for running on the mill.
Eagle does, in fact there is a ulp file available for Eagle which
converts the imported gerber (in script form) to gcode directly. I
agree, though, Eagle is quirky, hence my question. EasyPC 6 is a nice
program and highly intuitive, Eagle is tortuous. Maybe someone knows
how to turn an extended gerber into gcode without Eagle or Deskpcb
(expensive).
