geda suite of tools can now issue files in gcode to mill away the copper and create a double sided circuit board, like I could a decade back with the eagle program before they killed it by selling it. I need to create and make a board for a MAP sensor, a 3 terminal device that needs some
onboard noise filtering.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
