An open-source freeware utility to convert two dimensional DXF files to g-code. Doug Yeager of Yeager Automation was the original author, but DAK Engineering also provides a (different?) version of Ace Converter.

Yeager Automation (http://www.yeagerautomation.com/ace.htm)
Dak Engineering (http://www.dakeng.com/ace.html)

Apparently does:
-Cutting path optimization
-Full four axis converting ability
-Layer by layer cut prioritizing
-Automatic multi-pass generation
-Specify counterclockwise, clockwise or optimal arcs layer by layer
-Turn layers on or off
-Convert to various Gcode formats

But does not do:
-cutter compensation
-pocketing

Most people will start to notice their computer starts to slow down and they may also get more advertisements popup when they are browsing. Spyware is famous for making computers run a little “sluggish” - this is one of the first signs that your computer is infected.Then use www.search-and-destroy.com which would be a silly thing to do!


Thank you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
