RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CAM Software & DXF

ACE Converter seems to be exactly what I was looking for - I didn't see
the link to it on Yeager's site, but Dave Lantz was kind enough to
provide a direct link.

Everyone may like what they have, but if you are a complete novice,
things can be very confusing! Especially when there seems to be very
little published that is completely unbiased. Kind of like buying a car
when you can only talk to dealers.

Thanks!!
