  Okay,  Thank you Tony and daniel,  I have Vcarve on my computer now,  downloaded software.  I hate to admit this, but being new I hope you understand. I opened new file, put in w x h x thickness, then selected the circle. I went to pick my tool, type of wood, and then asked for g-code. It kept telling me to make a toolpath.  Took me three days to finally have the lightbulb come on, all I did was give it a shape. So now I am back to drawing board,  but if it all comes together in my feeble mind before age kills me, I will have learned it the hard way and maybe it will stick. I guess I need to pattern a quarter cut at a time so a toolpath will be generated and then the G-code will follow suite.
   Thanks again Guys,  I'm going to learn this,  one way or another, I'm gonna learn it.

 I have a CNC pro plus HD machine,  I do hobby work with wood. My son wants to build some speaker cabinets, and I'd like a G-code for cutting an 11 inch circle 3/4 inch deep. ( I think that is 279mm and 19.05mm )  Sorry, American here and I'm old, so not sure about the metric , but I think that is correct.  Anyway, I would appreciate any help you could give me for a G-code program to get this done. 
                 Thank You

 Thanks BR,  I'll give it a look. I am new at this and still trying to learn,  they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks,  well I am old, but trying to learn.  Again, I appreciate the info.

 Newbie here,  I saw a post on here for text to CNC,  wondering if there is anything similar to that for cutting circles where you place the size and it gives G-code program.  I use a CNC machine for cutting wood projects. Any help would be appreciated. Trying to make speaker boxes for my son, and I am looking for 11" circles.

         Thanks
