I've discovefred making Gcode for plasma is not as simple as creating Gcode for, say a CNC router. Rapids on plasma requirethe torch to be shut off before moving, unlike a spindle.

if I create a file in DXF and try to make gcode in the UCCNC utility, it makes a mess of the data, If I create the code in Cam Bam, I have to hand edit relay commands and pauses, all of which is too prone to error.

Anyone using an open source drawing program to cut simple shapes with plasma? How do you make usable Gcode from drawings?
Thanks in advance
