I would like to have this done automatically, one less thing too worry about
and one less thing for someone to forget. I would like to build a server to
do what it is I need to
I have been given the task to add assembly drawings to a design that another
engineer is working on using protel 99SE. I would like to go into the
library that he is currently using and just add a mechanical layer 1 to each
part with a .comment string, and update the PCB from the library. There

I hope this isn't too garbled.

There are two desireable utilities, really.
(1) Make a fabrication drawing: create drill symbols and a drill chart on
a
specified layer.
(2) Make an assembly drawing: take a layer, mirrored or not mirrored, and
copy it to a specified layer.
We've been discussing item 2. A top or
