Hi all,

I have bought a Cnc pcb milling machine. Included was Ncstudio and coppercam.

The problem is that coppercam does not accept smd pads. It makes them "hollow" I have talked to the creator of coppercam and he confirmed that it was not possible to use smd pads.

So I found out that my layout program Sprint-Layout supported the export of g code and it was very easy, but the problem is, that is it not possible to use ground plane and thermal pads when exporting to g-code.

I really need to both use smd pads and ground plane, so I hope that some of you might know how to solve the problem?

Best regards
Michael
