Can someone direct me to a proper walkthrough while creating a file in Illustrator to be exported as a .dxf to VisualMill.

Do strokes need to be expanded?


I have a logo I'm trying as a test and it seems once it's imported to VisualMill it drops all of the interior bits, like the inside of an "e" or "o" etc.

Also what would suggest saving the file as? dxf or dwg? What export setting do you use?

Can someone help a newb out? I'm trying to learn VisualMill before our Sabre gets here and I've never touched machining in my life.

We are a small sign shop and my background is in graphic design.

Thanks!
