Re: Dxf

no. you can use the cad system to break up the poly radius arcs into either 1.) small lines, 2.) real arcs. if you want to use Intercon. otherwise use a CAD/CAM system. i would recommend Vectric Cut 2D for this kind of work, it is similar to Intercon in many regards but, is CAD based and will accept...
