Are any of you aware of available software that would allow me to scan or create drawings, save them to GXF file and also manipulate or change the GXF file?
I have a guy cut pieces for me on his CNC and I need to spend time getting the image right before I start using his time to modify my images.
Thanks, Jim (from Minnesota)

looking for gxf 'lite'
GXF - Grid Exchange Format
I only know that because I looked it up. GXF as I understand is one of the file formats that cnc software can read to cut out a pattern.

I believe you want a CAD program to work with DXF files. (not G)
Do a web search for "progeCAD" which is available as a free (charity donation requested) in several versions.
