    How to convert DXF to cut on vinyl cutting machine

    Hey guys, I have attached a DXF of a file i need help with. I want to be able to cut this design on a (vinyl Decal) cutting machine. Well it's not my machine a freind of mine has one and i don't think he's very experienced if i where to just send him a DXF file of a design i need cut in vinyl. So if theres anyone that knows how to do it or can convert it so it can be cut that would be great. Thanks

    Hey mike2768 --
    Any details on the machine your friend has? Maybe even its brand-name would be helpful.
    There are maybe a number of brand specific codes - and if thats what you'll need then might be kinda helpful to know what "brand" it is. Otherwise if it uses g-code - there are a number of conversions to get your from dxf to that.
    Lets us all know - there are some smart guys here and might could help.
    Cheers - Jim
    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
