What layers and files are used to produce a Milling file?

I am using Cadence 17.2 and the layer I used before for producing a Milling file appears to have changed.

Can anyone tell me what files are needed or which layer is used to define the Milling!

    I have graphics (closed polyline 2mm wide) on Geometry/BrdGeo/Ncroute_Path, but it still doesn't output.

    Well not sure whats up.  Try this method because I know it works on my end. Go to the top of your screen from the pull down menu- hit "Add/"Line.. In the option menu set line width to 2mm and line font to solid. Add you line to the NC layer as mention earlier. Next- from the  Export pull down hit NC Route. Then before you hit ok to output hit Parameters to check the output settings. Mine is set to"Format 2 5 , absolute and Metric. and that should work for you. if not well, we are both stumped then. Good luck
