    There are some little addins I have seen in the years that will write simple paths inside autocad.

    Ger21 has written a CAM module of some sort that works from within Autocad.

    I have not tried it.

    Gerry will most likely see this thread and let you know about it.

    I use AutoCad and export the drawing as a DXF file which my Dolphin CAM program can handle.. seems to work fine.

    Incidently, on AutoCad, it's under the "Save As" button, not under "Export"... took me a while to suss this lol.
    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
