I believe I am using the newest version of Mach 3 and I believe I can upload DXF files into Mach... My apologies if I mistakenly stated that I could not. Please let me know where that was stated so either I can re-phrase what I meant or what not...
I do not have a license for it, I am using the demo. My machine came with a disc and was supposed to include Mach but the file is unable to open...
Please elaborate on what you mean by tolerance. I am new to this so sorry for the missing knowledge in regard to processes and terms.
I am planning to perforate multiples types and thicknesses (canvas, metal, etc) but currently I am trying to practice on art paper and teslin. The supplies I have now range in between 8 mil and 20 mil (mostly 10 mil).
Definitely not hundreds of holes but more than just a few... I would say there are a few concentrated areas on the materials where maybe 20-50 small perforations will go. The whole material is not used up as other things will be done to it in terms of design but these holes must be aligned correctly as they are placed on the jpg file...
I have a 3020T 3 Axis CNC machine bought here : http://www.amazon.com/CNCShop-Engraver-Engraving-Machine-Woodworking/dp/B011KHGLR2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1447976520&sr=8-3&keywords=cnc+3020t+3+axis
The tools that came with it are not labeled but I could take a picture of them if needed.

What tolerance do you want on the holes?
