"Worked a few hours on learning it. I'm more than a little slow. After a while I decided to try to open a drawing (.dwg) in SheetCam, my favorite (and only) CAM program. Guess what? Not compatible unless you know something I don't know. So back to SketchUp and its .dxf files or maybe another CAD program."
Spoke too soon as usual. Apparently the drawings CAN be saved as DXF files. Haven't yet confirmed it but there is an option for it so I'm confident that you can.
