Chris,
Try KCam from www.kellyware.com Besides running motors
it has a built in plotting program. Imports DXF,PLT and Gerber and
save them as GCode. It has an editor built in. Just make sure you
hit REFRESH before saving. Runs for a month before shutting off. Will
create ouline files from PLT files. You can set the size of your
Table in the program so you can see where the Gcode is going to
start. I use the program to backplot only. I am running an old
freeware copy of the program. It is the best program around for
the beginner.

Bob
