    Hi Jan,

     

    1. You can do the following:

    -  Display layer 20 only

    - Use GROUP and select all

    - Activate CUT and click into the drawing

    - User PASTE and place the copied contour anywhere.

    - Now use GROUP again and select the new contour

    - Select CHANGE LAYER and choose the layer

    - Now Ctrl + right mouse click into the group.

    - Move group to original position with MOVE and Ctrl + right mouse click

     

    2. A script can not start a CAM job.

    There are ULPs that convert a CAM job into a script that starts the PRINT command. What do you want to do exactly?

     

    3. You can use GROUP and CUT and PASTE to copy one board into another.

    * Open the board where the objects are you want to use in
      your new project
    * Use DISPLAY to show all the layers
    * Select the Objects with GROUP
    * Activate the CUT command and click into the drawing in order
      to copy it into the clipboard
    * Now open the new board
    * Use the PASTE command and place the previously selected
      group.

     

    Does this help?

     

    Regards,

    Richard
