Other Possible Solutions to this Question These machining operations are what is converted into Gcode. A CAM program, like CAMBAM, Cut2D or other Vectric software, MechCAM, etc that allows you to apply machining operation to the dxf geometry. This information does not exist in the dxf file. There is also the speed to cut the geometry, how deep to cut the geometry, etc. The cutting would need to be half the diameter of the end mill from the geometry so the edge of the end mill cuts along the line. You may want to cut on the inside of the circle, or the outside of the circle. For instance, take a circle that may be in the dxf. A dxf file is simple geometry and does not contain enough information to properly control a machine. Gcode is a set of instruction on how to cut geometric features which has numerous parameters for control.
There really isn't a program to directly convert a dxf (drawing exchange) file to gcode instructions. DXF file to a G-Code file to use with Mach4.
What is the best program to use for converting a.
