As a designer, I am looking for the proper way to export Adobe illustrator files so that Our CNC programming time can be reduced. Right now we have vector lines that are being drawn in Adobe Illustrator such as lettering or designs. The cnc programmer then has to redraw / trace the whole thing in order to get it to cut smoothly which seems to me is wasting a lot of time. Is there and good piece of conversion software that will let a designer properly save or convert the file? We have tried exporting dxf files which don't work the way they want. I want to be able to save these hard working guys from redrawing something we have already drawn. I have checked this site out Interflux

Has anyone tried this at all? Bare with me as I'm not sure what cnc software they are using which I will find out tomorrow.
