I'm new to eagle but for a project I need to create a pcb with a complex arrangement of exposed copper contacts. The board is going to be used as a simple touch sensor made up of concentric and radial slices with each slice connecting to a separate pin (a sort of chopped up bulls-eye pattern). We're making the board on an LPKF pcb router which takes in a gerber file generated from a cam file it provides for eagle.
Whats the easiest way to "draw" these kinds of shapes into a copper layer?
Thanks!

You can import vector designs from DXF file into Eagle with the help of this ULP script: http://todbot.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/eagle/import_dxf_polygons_v4.ulp
[no connection with the author of the script, found it this morning, worked fine for getting a simple design from Illustrator (exported as an R13 DXF) into Eagle]
