 thanks! I need to find out what I have to do to import solidworks DXF to lazycam. I work for the ARMY research lab, and I need to cut small parts on a taig CNC mill, the software was recommended by the person who used to be in this job, but he's gone now and I'm trying to figure it out.
 Thanks again for the help

Hello folks
 I'm new to this so its probably something I didn't understand. I draw most of my cad in Solidworks 2009. I save the file as a DXF, import it into lazycam, then attempt to post the g-code to Mach 3. Problems are 1. the piece does not show any depth, I'm making a Tee nut for my first project. I've designed it to be 14mm wide,15mm long and 16mm tall.
 2. when I look at the G-Code it puts some wild coordinate moves, for example the X axis should move 15mm, but the code tells it to go 30.00? HELP PLEASE?
