Almost finished my flatbed router, I use Acad and Mach3. Can anyone suggest an uncrippled version of DXF to Gcode conversion programme ?

I'd rather have a time expired demo prog rather than one that chops half the code out.

Many thanks

Free macro that converts circles and polylines into g-code. Works in 2002 and newer.

If you want a commercial package, look at Vectric's Cut2D or SheetCAM.

CamBam has a free version.

G Simple is free,

Hi Gery,
Thanks,

Loaded your routine into ACAD2008. Worked first time, exported a small cnc file some lines and circles but my arcs were missing ?

I'll have another try.

Polylines and Circles only. If you have arcs, join them into a polyline, or convert them with the PEDIT command.

Thanks gerry,

If I'd read the first paragraph of your instruction I'd have known this :-)

Your routine woks just fine,

Thanks you,

I will investigate others but yours will get me going.
