Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] re making a dxf into cam

Yeager Automation have a freeware DXF to G-Code converter called Ace:

Kellyware's KCam will import DXF (amongst other formats) and export G-Code
(or simply use it to drive your mill itself):

SuperCam will import DXF (and others), export a limited subset of G-Code &
can also control a mill:

Master 5 will import DXF (and...etc) & drive a mill:

There are various CAD/CAM packages that will import DXF. My personal
favourite is Dolphin Partmaster:

http://www.dolphin-systems.co.uk/

Don't be put off by the £800 price tag - they sell a cheaper version
(dedicated to a single post-processor) aimed at the hobby market.

Tony
