    Ok, now I get your approach - I prefer having the whole engraving, cutting/drilling CNC aspect in one layered CAMBAM file (vs loading up separate g-code files into a CNC app to do a full pcb job), that why I export a gerber from eagle & bring the track outlines into cambam - I also found the pcb-g-code a bit restrictive (I need to get deep down & dirty with all my parts! For example sometime I need to mill out a bit of waste copper to aid soldering (& avoid bridges) - I can do that easily & see the results prior to going to the CNC machine if I have all aspects of the job in one central app.
