Hey guys...Great job with the files.
We have an engraver here at work that I am learning to use. You can import these file types to it, but I am thinking I need a vector file for the tool path. I don't really know mucha bout this, we just use it to made Equipment ID tags, I thought we might as well put it to use. We have some black/clear plastic that you can engrave the black from the backside and backlight it. I was wanting to try a license plate, similar to above first, then I wanted to make some back lit switch panels.
If you convert a dwg to a dxf, will you still need a vector file as well to run the tool?
Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I know nothing about CNC...
Thanks guys...Jason

You need a CAM program like Gibbs or Mastercam to generate toolpaths. Then a post processor specific to your CNC machine.

Autocad files and DXF files are Vector files. They just may not be compatable with the machine that you are using. I have sticker making software that also needs vector files, and I have to import the DXF file into it.
