2D or 3D? I have successfully taken 2D files from a digitized Centroid CNC11 output file into excel, cleaned it up just a tad and saved it as a .csv file. Then I imported the csv file into Fusion 360. Takes a while. But didn't get great results with 3D - seems to overwhelm Fusion 360 if a big file.
Take a look at this thread:

Hey when you did your Bridgeport conversion did you loosen the clockspring on the quill? Assuming you did 3 axis?

I use my quill manually half the time so I left my clockspring at regular tension. For the most part, it's really just counterbalancing the quill and tooling. I have not noticed any adverse effects while running in full 3-axis with the tensioned clockspring.

I found my problem, there’s a arm that extends to the ballscrew I’m using and it mounts by way of two bolts. Well my setup was a little tight so I machined my bolts down on the lathe which loosened up my set up and it’s not binding like it was.
