If you want someone to cut your parts you do not need to produce the Gcode you only need to supply a DFX file
Gcode is produced from CAM which has specific Post Processors to suit the machine being used to run the Gcode
When you want to get your machine running only ask a question as you come up to each hurdle as your more likely to get more replies that way. It's not something that can be learned in a short time.

Hi Phil, thanks for the reply,
I understand that I just need to creat the model files to have my router components made, although if DXF is required here I will have a problem as I can only export from SW in STL or IGS formats, I'll have a look at this.
I am just trying to find out about CAM sw just now as I have time at present to learn how to use it.
Thanks, Stuart
