# ----------- START: This is needed only for the examples ----------------
# first set the default location where to search for the files to be open and store it to the ROOT_FOLDER variable
set ROOT_FOLDER  [get_sys root_folder_path]

# calculate the resources path for the examples we need to run and store it inside the PATH varaible
set PATH ${ROOT_FOLDER}/assets/examples/files
# ----------- END: This is needed only for the examples ----------------

# set the working path to the path that holds the files we are going to work with
set_path $PATH

# load the GERBER file
open_gerber test.gbr -outname gerber_file

# copper clear the Gerber file
ncc gerber_file -overlap 10 -tooldia 0.254 -method seed -connect 1 -margin 2 -all -outname gerber_ncc

# create a CNCJob object which holds the Gcode
cncjob gerber_ncc -dia 0.254 -z_cut -0.05 -z_move 3 -feedrate 100 -outname gerber_ncc_cnc

# plot the objects so we can see them; not required for the script but in this script we want to see the results
# plot_all

# write the GCode to a file
write_gcode gerber_ncc_cnc  ${ROOT_FOLDER}/assets/examples/copper_clear.gcode
