Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO]Help with a DXF file

My heavens Daniel!!!

Worked like a charm! Can't believe it! 85,130 lines of code generated in
a blink.

It's blatantly obvious that you have learned more about this in 10 days
then I have in the year or so that I've had it.

BTW for anyone who cannot figure out what kind of file I've been talking
about it should have read .DXF (I'm always getting it screwed up)

Thanks a ton!!
