There are ways of taking images of the pcbs for modules and exporting them into g-code. Eagle PCB has import-bmp.ulp that works so so. There is a set of tools called Eagle PCB Power tools that you can download from cadsoft (it's shareware and inyour case you'd need to pay for it to register) but it has an image to board converter for eagle which personally I think is pretty damn amazing. Right now i'm in the process of converting bugbrand's xr2206 pcb image taken from the pdf and make it into a board in eagle so I can execute the pcb-gcode operation so i can create the isolation file for my cnc router. Now that's just one suggestion, there are others but require tweaking such as DeskArt, imagetogcode, among others.
