If you have an Enrout subscription, you can enter a search for more in depth tutorials and training. If not Youtube has a ton of them. In your search just make sure to use the version of Enroll you are using.

Oh god, enroute is the worst. They want you to buy the whole cow to get a hamburger. Plus it's far too expensive for someone aiming to do stuff like 2.5D routing.
You'll need:
illustrator or corel
ecut plugin for either http://eng.e-cut.ru/
sheetcam https://www.sheetcam.com/
Do your drawing in corel or illy, export a dxf with ecut, import into sheetcam (you'll need to either request a custom post processor, or you may find one in the list for a celero already), add the bits you intend to use, and it'll make a dead simple gcode file for your cnc.

Exactly why we went with Vetric.

Oh well... I still have a very old version of ER that works just fine for all our needs, 2D to 3D.
But the upgrade price is obnoxious, and I have no internet in the workshop, (on purpose),and I detest subscription versions.

I taught myself Fusion360 on a trip to Mexico [it was hot as hell] and enjoy it thoroughly. I love to design in 3D- and then cut on the laser or print on a Prusa MK4.
