OTOH, I have the editing down pretty close to pat, and will probably, after cutting some air with the drill files, try and do a board tomorrow. The etch files aren't a problem as they have no tool changes, and I have everything but the gage position coded into the drill files already, but forgot to bring the paper I wrote the tool change positions on to the house when I came in with very cold feet about 5ish last evening. I have the attention span of a pet rock it seems these days. :)
