it's the v-carve part that's important. It's wat makes the corners of the letters etc, sharp rather than rounded. I was thinking of inkscape for it's vcarve gcode output capability, just to convert to gcode, rather than use it do draw anything with. just import your DXF and output the gcode.I have another program that can do vcarving , also free - can't remember what it's called... I'll get back to you.generating
