Hi all I have a issue with an CNC controller I am trying to use smc4-4-16a16b

Why do you think it would take a DXF file?

The DXF will have no detail of cutting depths, axis velocities, accelarations, spindle speeds, or anything else.

You need to pass the DXF through a CAM processor.

EDIT: Have a look at CAMBAM, from memory, as an entry point to CAM processing.

Some controllers will take a DXF file and convert it to G-code, however, you can't just load the file and cut the part because like Doddy says you need to enter other parameters like depth of cut and feed rates, etc.

That said I'm pretty sure this controller doesn't allow you to do this so you will need some other software to convert to G-code.
