Both programs create ordered/sequenced 3D DXF files, not g-code. Any
cad or cam program that can deal with an ordered 3D dxf file can
handle the output. VectorCam handles this very well because it is
designed to be used for dealing with vector data, and not just pretty
pictures. Most CAD programs are not designed with machining in mind
and lots of gyrations are required to correctly process 3D DXF data.

Fill out the form completely, turn off your spam blocker and you
won't have a problem with the Vector download.
