Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: post processor

Brian:

My Master5 can read and translate DXF's to g-code , but only
arcs,lines,polylines and circles. If your looking at 2 dimensional drawings
it might suffice. It is more designed for sign making than complex machining
as far as translation is concerned, but like Ballendo say's, one mans finger
is anothers body. Try the demo and see if its applicable to what you need.
