Hi Nordic,
I dont use eagle (I use CADSTAR) but have downloaded eagle to have a play with as its free, just havn't had time yet. If you cant figure it out in eagle you can create one from your gerbers, if you aree creating gerber files (if you havn't got gerber manipulating tools I can create one for you).
If you do create gerbers make shure ALL pads are flashed, it makes it easier to create masks etc.
If I get chance I set eagle up and have a play, but it may be a while.

luckily, the manufacturers here, that accept small orders, also accept the *brd file.
So I never need to worry about gerber files and that stuff.
The soldermask layers are tstop and bstop.
You can watch them in the board module and print them via the cam-processor.
Regards
Jürgen

That will make life easier, if you dont have to visit gerber land,
I front end engineer all my designs as we use China, and they can be manufacturer indipendent.
