I've just started to learn how to use autocad and trying to convert drawings to gcode. I have to admit I really don't know what I'm doing. I can draw objects in autocad, but the only thing I can get gcode2000 to accept is 2d simple shapes. If I start putting holes or other items in it it comes out real strange. I have been unable to get it to accept and 3d drawing at all, it keeps telling me there is no usable information. I made sure to explode the drawing befor saving it to a dxf, but I still had no luck. I'll attach the autocad file I'm trying to convert using gcode 2000, maybe someone could give me a step by step walkthrough of the steps to get from a 3d drawn part to gcode. I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
James
