Hi Jennifer,
I suggest you check out KellyCam. It converts HGLP to
Gcodes. It will also let you backplot and resize you files. The
program wil also run the motors. See link below. The program is FREE!
I use it for checking my codes. I am cutting circuit boards using the
Mechanical Etching bits from Think and Tinker.
