This may go in cs, but it also pertains to machining and pcb, so I decided to put put here.
Does anyone who uses cambam or is familiar with the software know how to cut the areas between two closed shapes where one shape is within the other? Say I have a circle within a circle, but only want to cut the "donut" shape that resides between the circumference of each. Yes, if it where a shape as simple as that I could just adjust the cut width of a inside and an outside profile to match that situation. I need to do very complex non uniform shapes though.
Alternatively, if someone could point me towards some non isolation routing methods for pcb milling, that would be equally valuable.

In cambam, you can only select one closed shape for pocketing. If you select more than one closed shape, it pockets the inside of both shapes. Have any rocomendations on cam that can do pccb's like this? I need non isolation routing.
Cambam has become something pretty good since its first release, it now gives you a much higher control over the toolpaths.

I think eagle has a plug in for isolation routing.
I just send my boards out to oshpark and be done with it. $5 a square inch and that gets you three copies. Double sided, gold plated, solder mask, and silkscreening. Made in the US.
