    .dxf to g-code converted with tool-diameter compensation?

    Seems like every dxf-to-g-code converter I've tried (and that's quite a few today), is just for engraving. Is there any that will (1) compensate for the tool-bit diameter, and (2) allow me to try it free (even if it's time-limited or has a limited number of output lines) ?

    Cheers,
    -Neil.

    Neil,
    Try Sheetcam
    This will do exactly what you are talking about. It is reasonably priced if you decide to go with it, has excellent support and is being upgraded on a regular basis.

    Good to know. I had requested an eval license from them so hopefully I'll have it soon.
