Running CAM Script to Get Gerber Files with Eagle SW

I read that some type of script files (two of them) need to run after the Eagle CAD drawing are done. These need to be run to get CAM files and Gerber files in order to order pcbs. Is this true? Otherwise how are the CAM and Gerber files produced?

    Yes you need to run the CAM processor.   Eagle comes with some sample

    CAM job files....a good starting place for understanding how to setup

    the CAM processor to generate what you want.
