When do you need to create your assembly drawings? I am working on a script that merges the eps files that PCB creates. The selected eps files are merged and scaled to fit a specified paper size (preserving the aspect ratio). You can change the color of each layer and output a footer that prints the filenames that were merged and the date the output file was created.
What I have been doing for my assembly drawings is merging the silk layer with a color of black and the copper layer with a color ot 50% black. I just need to review the code, do a little more testing and write some documentation.
