I am new to Mach4, almost finish the new controller and now need to learn how to generated the G-code to run in Mach 4
on the design, I am using Adobe illustrator to draw the line file and I usually save them in ai3 format, then use Enroute 3 to export the DXF for my old Camtech Routermaster TCPWIN software to send the file to the router.
the tool size, speed, group etc are control by the TCPWIN
Now that I am using Mach4, I need the new process to setup. I see there are many driver in Enroute but none of them is Mach3 or 4.
Can someone give me some suggestion how I can do all this?
Thanks.

I do not have any experience with Enroute, but it can directly generate G-code.
You must select a usable machine driver. Many of the available machine drivers
utilize G-code, you just need to find one that is acceptable to Mach4.
A Google search came up with these links:
