Newbie CAD CAM question!

Hello Group,

I am a little confused!

When using a cad program such as AutoCad2002 how does the process
flow to finished milled product.

What format does one use DWG DXF?
How do these files get converted to GCODE to be used by EMC?
I can understand the XY plot but where does Z info come from when
designing in 2D?

Sorry for my ignorance ;-)
