Review the ABF plugin
ABF is the most complete and fully featured Sketchup Plugin for exporting CNC cutting files from Sketchup. In addition to ABF, there is the Opencutlist plugin, which also features statistics and nesting boards, but it lacks important features such as creating holes, binding screws, sticking labels, etc.
