Hi there,

Yes, you can use autocad dxf files but make sure you save them as "11/12 ASCII" type autocad files.

Save As version 12 .dxf, the last one in the list in any version since 2002.

Welcome to the World of Lazycam,
You may want to brouse though the lathe manual (located in  MEMBERS DOCS ) as it gives some tips
on DXF files. Draw accurately and make sure all your entities are closed as this will surely help after 
importing into Lazcam.
