Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC Software Question

Hi Kim,

The MaxNC controller programs that I'm familiar with, 3 & 4 axis -PRO &
DELUXE (for step/dir), don't do the DXF to G-code conversion AND the
controller function in one program.

Get a CAD/CAM program to allow you to design the parts and generate the
G-code, and then run TurboCNC to cut parts.
