Re: DXF for CNC lathe

I've done it before but it's been a while. You have to pick
three points on a plane, and that is the plane you draw on.
Maybe someone with a better memory than I can chime in.

Quick and dirty would be to draw X/Y and feed through a text
editor and do a global search and replace.
