You can generate the g-codes from a .dxf file with ACEconverter from
www.yeagerautomaiton.com/ace.htm or you can also use FlashCUT to generate
g-code from a .dxf file. You can download the FlashCUT software from
www.flashcutcnc.com/html/dow.html for the 'demo' version. Either of these
will convert a .dxf file to g-code that can be run by TurboCNC or Mach1.
