Well, I tried saving files into .dxf format using AutoCAD 12 and 13 formats.
Neither one works.
Also finding out that lots more of the program (to much to put in this
little note) is extremely inconvenient (among other things) to use. So far,
the best thing I've found among the demos is Vector.

I projected some letters onto a section of a sphere using Rhino, saved it in
.dxf 14 format, imported it into Vector, selected the lettering and bingo, I
had a gcode. The whole process took less than five minutes.
