Hi,
As my conversion gets nearer to being usable I now realise I have no idea of how to go from a drawing to g-code to input to the controller.
The controller I have is the cnc2 by conquerer design and uses their easycnc2. The software can to engraving directly but has very limited drawing facilities their newer version can inport dxf drawings etc but that costs more and as I have so much invested I would like to actually machine something rather than spend even more cash.
So how does one produce useful code of the g-code variety or does one do it by hand as you could with the old HPgl code.

Also can g-code be looped or does it have to be line after line of code!
