I have my own scripts to do "Nutzen" or panel PCBs. Forget CAM350, I used it while I was emplyed by a big and red automotive company. My scripts resides here: http://git.logonex.eu/?p=utils4geda.git;a=tree;f=scripts4geda;h=0e41be082a6320ecddecfb55f7dccbe2842b4290;hb=HEAD the panel2pcb.pl does the trick. There was some documentation floting around, but I can't find it right now...
