I think it depends entirely on what your CAM software needs. Some DXF features
are not accepted by some CAM programs, so you just have to see which version
works the best. There are probably some combinations of CAD and CAM that
are not compatible, ie. all variations of DXF output by the CAD are not correctly
brought in by the CAM software. That's why I bought both from the same outfit
(Bobcad/CAM)
