    ok need the walk through on auto cad to boss8

    ok , i have just got a r2e3 series 2 , i know very little on this machine, i know it works very well ,( thanks to machinetek for helping me with that) i am very limited in knowlege on g-code, i can use auto cad 14 with no problem...i know there is programs out there than can translate dxf files to g-code. Machinetek is getting some info on the machine for me , i just need a step by step for a rookie that will tell me how to take the cad file to g-code for the machine, maybe when i get the info for the machine i will have a better idea on how to program it...thanks for any help you guys can give me,
    Ieatsteel vs. r2e3 :boxing: i think its winning....

    You need a third party program to get from autocad to g-code.Look through the forum list of cam software or search the web.
