Make PCB etched route wider?

velocity

Hello everyone,  I'm new to Eagle Cad and was wondering if anyone could give me a tip on widening the etched route lines when I go to make a PCB layout.  I'm not referring to the actual traces but the lines that my CNC machine would etch out the copper during milling.  Problem is that the smallest endmill I have is a 1mm and when I go to process the G-Code, it fails because the etch lines are smaller than my endmill.  Any help would be very much appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hello.

     

    The distance between the edge of the trace and the edge of the copper pour is the isolation parameter of the polygon you drew for the copper pour.

     

    Either change it using the Change icon, set isolation to whatever you need and click the polygon.

    Or right-click on the polygon, select properties and set the isolation to the width you require.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Guido
